The Junie B. Jones series has become extremely popular over the years. There are many people that love the stories because of how witty Junie B. is. It is also true that a large number of children can connect with her since Barbra Park created the series with Junie B. speaking in first person as the narrator. However, there are a lot of concerns with the amount of disrespect seen by Junie. Additionally, there could be an educational confusion for children who are trying to learn to read and pronounce words correctly. The Junie B. Jones series basically glorifies being bad, not listening to adults and using language that a five or six year old should not be using. The ruthless actions and improper usage of communication by Junie B. in the Junie B. Jones series can be very confusing and misleading for the young children that are expected to read these books.

I began playing the trumpet in the fifth grade. Back then, I loved playing the trumpet. We had band practice at the end of the school day every Tuesday and Thursday, and I looked forward to those rehearsals every single week. I loved it because in elementary school, the directors didn’t care about my tone quality. They didn’t care about how talented I was. They couldn’t care less whether or not I practiced. I loved it because it just gave me an opportunity to socialize with my friends more.

The saxophone is considered one of the easiest instruments to play. Even neophytes are able to make a noise on the saxophone (even if it is more of a squeak). To make sound on a brass instrument, such as the trumpet, one needs to purse his lips just right, which can be difficult for many people. Also, brass players have a more difficult time changing octaves (high and low notes) than reed players because they need to change their whole mouth position instead of pushing a single button. So although playing an instrument such as the saxophone may seem like

Throughout the pivotal Australian novel Jasper Jones, Craig Silvey, one of the most prominent Australian authors, has altered the reader’s perspective upon various figures through the characterisation of corrupt authority figures and unguided youth.

The man who gave him the opportunity to become the musician that he is now. “I don’t think it’s an unfamiliar story for a lot of jazz musicians. It’s a connection.

The horn is one member of the family of brass instruments and has a fairly low pitch in comparison to the flute. When comparing with other instruments of the brass family, the horn’s pitch is rather high, only the trumpet being higher. Gledhill plays the horn in a very interesting way, nothing like expected. Not surprisingly, he uses the valves and his mouth to create sound. However, what excited me the most was the way he used his other hand. During a longer time, he had his right hand inside the bell. By rotating his hand in the bell while creating sound with his mouth, it helped with the shifting of the pitch, going from low to a timbre sounding more nasal. The most interesting and surprising sequence during Gledhill’s performance was when he stopped using his fingers on the valves and chose only to use his hand in the bell to play while blowing air into the mouthpiece. This made the piece into a completely different story and the melody changed which indicates in a strophic verse. Moreover, I felt like this way of creating sound made the piece feel more creative and modern and less like classical

Parts of the aforementioned section of the movie may be an indication that he may have had some unresolved issues in the adolescent stage of role confusion vs. identity. Adolescence is a stage at which we are neither a child nor an adult, life is definitely more complex. In this stage humans attempt to find an individual identity, struggle with social interactions, and grapple with moral issues. The task is to discover who we are as individuals. If a person is unsuccessful in navigating this stage, he or she will experience role confusion and upheaval. A significant task for a person is to establish a philosophy of life and in this process humans tend to think in terms of ideals, which are conflict free, rather than reality, which is usually filled with one conflict or another. Holland’s reality is that he has not yet completed the music piece he has strived for and needs to teach. This creates a conflict of time, as he feels he is getting too old to publish the musical work. Teaching takes up the time he needs to work on his music, causing him frustration. It appears that he has found it easy to substitute ideals for experience.

The trumpet has been used for many years for many different uses that many folks do not even know about or have even thought about. In
