What I learned most through Albany field trip is about history. First, we went to Iroquois Indian Museum. I haven’t studied Native American in my home country. One of the tribes is called Iriquois Indian. When I looked around the museum, I thought its culture has some similarities with Japanese culture for the following reasons. First, I was surprised that there were a lot of ornaments of turtle or woman in the museum and there is a tale about woman and turtle. Japanese also respect the turtle because it regards as a symbol of longevity. The ornament of woman represents for fertility. In the tale that Iriquois people believe, they think the turtle helps skywoman, who fell from the sky, and made the Earth. So women are powerful than men. As

I, Carlos Delgado, feel very fortunate to be born and raised in Los Angeles California. Los Angeles is one of the cities in the United States that can easily remind you where you come from due to its various communities that represent different cultures. Los Angeles also allows the opportunity to create interactions with people that might not identify like you; it just depends on you as an individual if you are open to that opportunity.

The violin is the smallest and highest pitched string instrument. It is played by a violinist or fiddler. When playing, the violinist holds the violin between the top of his left shoulder and the left side of his chin as he draws the bow across the string or plucks the strings with one or both hands. The sound can be stopped by placing a hand on the strings. The bow is made of wood and horse hair. The violin is tuned in perfect fifths. Music for the violin is written in the treble clef. In the orchestra, the violins play in two groups. These are the first violins and the second violins. In the orchestra, the violins sit to the left of the conductor in rows. The first violins are to the far left and the second violins are to the right of them. The Concert Master is usually a first violin player, and he or she sits in the front row of the first violins.

As we all know, food is a vital product, so even our less developed ancestors were in the need to produce food. The arepa is a food prepared of maize kernel dough formed into a patty. It can be grilled or baked, and then split open to be stuffed with a variety of ingredients. Venezuelan and Colombian indigenous tribes soaked the maize kernel and created flour, mixing it with water and salt creating compact dough and then made round disks that would go on a budare - hot clay pan - cooking the arepa. The versatility of this dish makes the arepa a meal that can be eaten at any time, and also play an essential role in multiple social gatherings.

The type of wood has a significant impact on the sound, tone, and quality. Mahogany is thought to be the finest wood for making ukuleles. It also has excellent aging properties, sounding better as it gets older. Typically, the same type of wood is used for the entire instrument. The ukulele is a small instrument that looks like a miniature version of a guitar. It consists of a short neck, the main body, four strings and tuning keys, a bridge, a fretboard, and a sound hole. There are a variety of different types of ukuleles including the soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano is the smallest (20 inches) and the baritone is the largest (30 inches). The strings are tuned to the notes G-C-E-A on all ukuleles except the Baritone. Tuning for the Baritone is D-G-B-E because it has a deeper sound like that of a guitar. Fun fact about the ukulele: Neil Armstrong loved to play the ukulele in his downtime. After his trip to the moon, he feared that he had contracted a strange bacterium, so he spent weeks in quarantine, often

A general structure of Kebyar music is in the form of KPP. KPP is an abbreviation of Kawitan(introduction), Pengawak(the main body) and Pengecek(conclusion). This concept are said to be derived from culturally valued dimensions of “threeness” such as the concept of tri-angga (an anthropomorphism referring to the head, torso and legs), three courtyards of the Balinese temple, the tri-loka(upper, middle and lower worlds of existence) and others. Like sonata allegro, KPP is mainly associated with a restricted “classical” repertoire. (Tenzer,2000:354). McPhee describes that pengawak is essentially static in form and mood, the Pengecet is dynamically progressive, passing through successive phases of rising rhythmic tension. (McPhee,1966:83)
