Orchestra Performance Analysis

I have went to Solo and Ensemble a few times in the past, and this year’s music piece was the hardest one that I had to do. It was a challenge to play the piece right. What I go on my piece was what I deserved.

This year is one that has pushed me to do and be better in school and my everyday life. I’ve learned more and expanded my knowledge on many key skills and strategies that I can use in my lifetime. Even though I have learned a lot this year, I still have weaknesses and areas to improve on.

Overall, the performance was okay, however, there were many flaws. My own performance was not at all perfect because I definitely could have done a lot better. I should have taken more action to actually lead the group more, but instead I was a little shy because of the fact that I was the youngest. For example, I should have pushed the group to rehearse more, so we would have been better at our lines. However, I was not the strongest leader and did not do so. In my performance I should have been louder and projected my voice more and I should have done more acting instead of standing. I could have also spoke a little deeper to sound like a boy, but I did not think about that and worried more about my lines than I did the quality of what I was saying.

I believe that a lot of our performance went well. My group worked well as every aspect of the performance came together and worked seamlessly. The transitions were also successful as each performance was able to transition from one story to the next relatively easily. Our use of props, such as balloons and string helped us

I've heard many compliments on the forces you led… You did wonders with the "pickup chorus"! They did a competent job with ensemble, pitch, and timbre--a most enjoyable presentation, especially considering that some of them had not sung with you before.

Starting with our visual adjudication I think overall we did a very nice job. I think we should definitely work on our marching in time and making sure that the left foot coming out on the downbeat is consistent between everyone. I also think that we are hitting

This year in Art, I have make improvement throughout the year. For example, I learn how to make a work complete. In my work last semester, all of my work lack detail and completeness. However, my work this semester, was able to improve, partly because it is sculpture, not drawings. I was able to be more bold with my work in areas of sculpturing and clay making.

In this project, the student mentoree learned about the field of conducting an orchestra. The mentoree had the experience of getting to work with children of all age and level difficulty. She had the opportunity to learn and mark a score of music and conduct to the students in a piece of music. The mentor and the mentoree went over all of the different types of time and key signatures. They also did twenty hours of practicing the piece of music the mentoree will be performing the final performance.

When I was told to watch a performance to write about, I had no idea where to go with watching something. I was stuck. But then I was thinking about it and thought, wait, what if I watch a performance art piece. It literally has performance in the name. This will work perfectly. I looked up some performance art beforehand, and to be honest, I wasn’t impressed with it and thought it was rather peculiar and a little inappropriate. With dabbling upon what I had looked up, I came across Marina Abramović. She caught my eye because of her way of talking. It is so unique and captivating that I couldn’t choose anyone else to watch and write about. If only there was a way to write this paper with the accent Marina has.

She was technically outstanding in playing the correct rhythm and phrasing. Vivian also did an excellent job in her dynamic contrast as she made huge leaps in the volume when she was played. The main thing separating her from professionals is her tuning. It started off quite strong, although it became more apparent something was off later in the song. Just a minor correction in bow placement would fix this issue. Vivian appeared attached to piece, which makes it more appealing for the audience when the performer is engaged. I don’t believe she used much artistic liberty as it would be altering what Elgar wanted to convey. In terms of the concert, it was quite organized and ran efficiently. For the most part, the musicians were focused and connected to the piece that they were playing. The program was well put together and it ran smoothly as I expected. It was nice to hear to adjudication, and some of their comments could help me as a trombone player. I learned how I should project my air all around me and fill the room, instead of just shooting a beam of sound in front. Overall, the recital was very well executed in terms of planning, and there was also a very high level of musicianship. If given the chance, I would go to a different concert with similar instrumentation, in order to compare

The Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, recently hosted Gustavo Dudamel and the Philharmonic choir for a four day orchestra event, running from 19th -22nd may 2016, to showcase Mozart’s “Requiem” and Avro part’s “Miserere.” The event was a unique experience that gave me the chance to sample the work of two of the best known music composers. Both Mozart and Part are renowned for transparency and sonic beauty in their music which unfolds effortlessly and naturally and I knew this was going to be a great experience for the audience and performers alike.

I think the performance of the orchestra was above average. I enjoyed all aspect from when the conductor was welcomed by members of the orchestra to when the choir joined towards the grand finale. Both the orchestra and the audience played their role exceptionally. I watched the orchestra play over and over trying to grasp the meaning of every movement while enjoying the choral. By looking at the members of the large orchestra I could tell they were eager to please. Also the fact that they had rehearsed gave them confidence which was fully in display.

I improved multiple of my skills over the year. I got a lot better at explaining quotes and why I chose the quote that I did like in my Into the wild essay. “ This quote shows he was a individualist and did his own things at a young age. ”[ Kuhn]. Also my opening statements improver a ton from the first to the last essay. Here is the opening from

Overall the performance was great. I’ve always loved the sound of guitars because my dad and uncle both play. I became entranced by the music it reminded me of my childhood. Like these were pieces id hear on my favorite shows like tom and jerry. I liked the recital overall because each person picked great pieces but all went together in a way like it had a theme that reminded me of Hispanic or Italian music. Even though, some of the performers messed up they still did well and played right through like nothing happened. I also, liked how the players expressed the way they felt playing the music their body language and facial expressions made me feel the music even more. The stage mostly bare but, was set up with a chair and for one performance

In conclusion, this event is one the best events I have ever attended. I personally enjoyed it and benefited from it both mentally and psychologically, violin play was a language and a tool of communication between my hearts and the performant’s. Every single snap on the tendon meant something that I totally I understood. The violin was crying at moments. It was moaning and expressing feelings at others. It purified my mood. I was conscious with my neurons releasing endorphins to counteract stress and releasing anxiety and depression. I felt the sense of my nerves deporting negativity after every verse. I was piercing how my brain acts and reacts. The performance was so emotional and crying that stimulate my affection. I wanted a hug at event. It was warmly complex that
