Musical Autobiography

Music plays a big role in my life. I listen to it everyday. Music helps me process what emotions I am feeling that day. Emotions such as anger, happiness, depression and anxiety. For example in 2011 my commanding officer for young marines died. Then three month later my grandfather passed away. Everything felt hopeless, I was depressed and

My music has helped me develop my life, by letting me learn a different language. Learning music started with my sister. She started out on flute. I swore up and down that I would never be in band. Music has helped me with stress. Band and the people in it have formed me into who I am today. Most music genres are soothing. I plan on being in marching

At the beginning, music has and always will be an important thing in my life. When I am on a road trip or am doing something that takes an extended period of time, I know I can turn on Spotify and drift into my own world. Also, if I ever feel perturbed or dejected, I can listen to my favorite album and feel great again. Third, music helps me prepare for activities such as football games or school. Lastly, music assists me whenever I’m working on something such as homework or a project for school.

Music, it helps the world go ‘round. Whatever kind of music you like, how often you listen to it, it's all up to you. Most likely, you will enjoy many different genres. Often times, it helps you express yourself beyond speech. And like the French poet Victor Hugo said, “ music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that cannot remain silent.”

My love for music is rooted in the solid musical foundation my parents set for me. From taking me to my first concert when I was two, to teaching me how to play guitar at the age of four, music imprinted itself on me early in life. I started playing the flute in 5th grade, and since then, my life has never been the same. Continuing to play the flute throughout high school has allowed me to be heavily involved with the music program. I have been an active participant of Concert Band, Jazz Band, Honor Band, Pep Band, and Marching Band.

I have always loved music as long as I can remember. I remember the days when I would have to wake up extra early to go to school as a 7 year old because I had to go to my piano lesson two hours before school even started. My mom

Music has been a part of my life for over half of it. I started piano when I was about 6, and did orchestra in 4th, 6th, and now 7th. I always enjoyed learning more about the instruments I played. But

Music has been a part of my life since the beginning. My Grandma Hammond, a music teacher, had me start right off into piano when I turned 7 years old. She has been my music teacher since then. I was taught all genres of music starting from classical to what is popular now. My favorite genres to learn were Jazz and Rock music pieces. I remember when I was the age of 12, I begged her to let me learn and play the song Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen for one of my music festivals. My Grandma disagreed at once about my idea because it was required of the piano students to play a classical piano piece. I was a good student and learned that festival piece, but little did she know I would also teach myself Bohemian Rhapsody and play it after my classical

Music has a big impact on my life, it is one of my favorite things in the world. My music library is so diverse, so it is hard for me to pick my favorite genre, from hip hop to rock to country. I find it all tasteful. If I had to say may favorite though it would be alternative rock, mostly because my favorite band is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their bass lines are amazing, and their music has so much heart and emotion in it, it’s something that everyone can jam along to. My least favorite would have to be screamo, an off shoot of metal. It is just too angry and you cannot understand anything the singer is saying, it isn’t something that is easy for me to appreciate. The Hobbit is my favorite book, the ore behind it keeps me interested and the way it is written is a completely different style than today’s writing. The writing style almost seems archaic but it has an elegance to it that is extremely difficult to achieve.

There are various genres that many people can relate to, but the genre that captivated my soul was R& B. Listening to this genre was different than the music I was use to which were Oldies, but in rock I found relief. Rock lets people be able to express themselves and comfort in the lyrics of a song. The artist that influence me was Bob Marley, I remember that gloomy day at the hospital in which my little sister was in critical condition due to a car accident, which jeopardized her life. As I sat waiting outside the room with my aunt I heard someone playing the song three little birds, and then I knew that things would only get

I have loved music since I was born, it has always been there for me. Although I love all genre of music my favorite has to be country music. You can interpret so much from one verse of music. From kindergarten to fourth grade I was in the school talent show singing. I loved getting on that stage and showing people what I could do.

I like to listen to all different types of music, but my favorite is country, rock and an oder band called the Beatles. My mom and dad have listened to all genres of music since I was little and I’ve been listening to them every since. My mom listens to the Beatles and rock mostly. She has a first edition Beatles record that is never not playing in my house. My family and I don't like new rock that people listen to, these day’s. Instead we love to listen to what I call old school rock like offspring, nickelback, and Metallica. My dad on the other hand, he loves country! He started to listen to country when he was young. He has 6 siblings and they all listen to country still to this day. Music has such a big impact to my life because I listen to it everyday and my family and I are always singing to every song we hear or that is on are

Besides marching band, music in general is one of the most substantial parts of my life. It has taught me to be an overall more creative and inventive person. It has fueled my mind to be quicker and better.

Back in grade school, I didn’t know much about music, since I didn’t own any devices at the time. Even if I did, I didn’t have much interest in it. All my time, I just been just fooling around and doing whatever I wanted. As time passed, there were people starting to wear ear buds and I always wonder why they had them on their ears. I guess this the beginning of my curiosity about why music is so great.

When I get into fights with my step dad which to this day is still a problem instead of resorting to violence I would go and blare by favorite song at the time over and over again. Also after having a hard time in high school being wrongfully suspended twice instead of dropping out or giving up I had my bass to return home to home to sit for hours and write songs, hundreds of songs. The songs would relate to my feelings. Some songs would be hard full of hate and anger but some songs were mellow with sad heart filled lyrics. If it weren't for these songs to write I you would not be sitting here reading my paper. The girls in high school were also a reason for writing songs and playing trumpet. In all of my high school all my relationships I was cheated on. This caused for harsh break ups, uncalled for arguments, and an untrusting Nick Henry. High school years where trying times and if it wasn't for my music things would not have turned out they way they have.
