I grew up going to Wichita schools until the sixth grade, and from there onto high school I went to Eureka, which is a little over an hour northeast of Wichita. This is my fourth and last semester here at Butler, and I will be attending WSU come spring time. I’ve been working as a server at Red Lobster for over three years now. I am a Spanish major and will be adding a minor in Russian as well once I transfer over to WSU. I aspire to be an interpreter, or a translator (but preferably an interpreter), and eventually work with the CIA or UN. I’m highly considering joining the Peace Corps after graduation before any of that though, and spend some time teaching English as a second language. My musical tastes cover basically everything except …show more content…
I really love facts, so I look forward to gaining tidbits and information about the songs I’ve been listening to for years. Just overall better understand and appreciate music in general, but really this genre. Tchaikovsky is one of my favorite composers, I’ve been in love with his Nutcracker Suite for as long as I can remember, so I would love to learn more about him and his music. I find the British invasion and how it drastically changed our culture fascinating, so I wouldn’t mind learning more about that. I’ve recently started getting into the 40s so I would love to learn about more musicians/composers like Glenn Miller, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole, etc. I don’t believe there’s really anything else the class would care to know about me. Well actually, my uncle and his family has a couple of connections to the Beatles that I consider to be pretty cool. They own an apartment in the same building where Paul McCartney has one in NYC (sadly I never ran into him on the elevator), and they’re really close friends with Yoko Ono and I narrowly missed an opportunity to have tea with her in the apartment she and Lennon lived in. But that’s more so about my uncle than me, I
I graduated from St. Joseph's High School (South Bend) in 1998, and because I wanted less snow and more heat in my life I went to college down south. In 2002, I graduated from Tennessee State University, located in Nashville, Tennessee, with my B.S. in Arts and Sciences in 2002, and I started my administrative work with IUSB back in 2007. Life happened, but I decided to finish my administrative journey at Bethel.
Only one man could claim the title as probably the greatest composer in American history for writing so many unforgettable works: Aaron Copland. He lived a life inspired by many things as well as inspiring people all across the nation, and it really led to the opposite of being drawn into himself, as he described in the quote above. He was born in Brooklyn, New York on November 14 in 1900. He was the youngest of five children to Sarah and Harris Copland. A musical spark came out in Copland already at the age of 11 as he began piano lessons with his sister. His musical talents
I particularly enjoyed learning more about the German Composers. It Is amazing that of the many of the great musicians (Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, my study of music at th Staatliche Hochschule fur Musik Rheinland in Germany once I graduate from
I am a senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, pursuing a double major in Political Science and Public Policy. After starting out college unsure of what I wanted to major in, I finally found my passions in education and international affairs through my majors.
I am a Human Resources major who plans to pursue a teaching career at the secondary level as a Business and Spanish teacher. I am currently a junior and plan to graduate in the fall of 2017. After graduation, I will seek to obtain my teacher certification and continue to work with KISD as an educator inspiring other students to achieve a higher education.
Once being presented with this opportunity to write this paper I found it as a wonderful opportunity to express my opinion on two different musical greats. The one that I decided to choose for the old would have to be Tchaikovsky, and for the new by far my favorite choice would be the beetles. The selection of these two specific artist was almost a no brainer for me, they embody the perfect blend of inspirational music that delivers a specific, yet powerful message, both artist belong to different genres one from a classical genre and one from a more modern form of music.Also, both these artists viewed music regardless of the genre as a form of communicating a message to the masses, in the beetles era war was occurring in the world and in terms of Tchaikovsky he was one of the best ballet composers of his
I was raised here in Richmond, Virginia, but was born in Buckingham County. I was raised by a big family that loves and supports me in anything I put my mind to. I graduated from Hermitage High School and completed two years at the Hermitage Technical Center and received a certificate to be certified as a veterinary assistant my senior year. My passion for working with animals and my experiences with the veterinary program, I decided to attend Virginia Union University. They have an awesome science program, which is why I chose to major in biology, and the staff and faculty builds a bond with their students that make them feel like family.
This also ties into my work experience, which had me helping out with the academy's art departments. The placement lasted for a week, and had me teaching guitar lessons to younger students, detailing the basics of the guitar. Also on my work experience, I was asked to represent the school's music department, by playing a piece with my friend (who was also on the same work experience placement) for future students of the school, who were partaking in a taster day.
I am a dedicated and conscientious student in class, and a key member in many extra-curricular activities. As a keen musician, playing violin, trombone and piano, I contribute to a number of musical ensembles in school and played an integral part in the organisation of our school’s summer concert. I am also a member of several local youth orchestras and bands, with whom I have toured abroad many times, most recently to Italy, France and Belgium.
I went to elementary school at Rex in Haysville then to Haysville Middle School then to Campus High for two and a half years then moved to Udall. I do competitive cheer and I am also on the dance and softball team. My mother is Janice a single mother of three and my father is John. I plan on going to Butler for two years to get my Pre Veterinarian then onto K-State to get my doctorate in Veterinarian medicine.
ATchaikovsky=s music is not only one of the cornerstones of Russian musical society and world music . . . It is at the same time a creative and technical encyclopedia to which every Russian composer has reference in the course of his own work,@ commented Dimitri Shostakovich.1 This was a typical view held by Tchaikovsky=s contemporaries. He was well known and well respected, especially in his later years. In addition, Tchaikovsky was recognized as the most expressive Romantic composer in Russia.2 He was often idolized and put on a pedestal, particularly during his tour of the United States in 1891 when he conducted concerts of his own works in some of the leading concert halls. Tchaikovsky brought national attention to
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky is the author of six symphonies and the finest and most popular operas in the Russian repertory. Tchaikovsky was also one of the founders of the school of Russian music. He was a brilliant composer with a creative imagination that helped his career throughout many years. He was completely attached to his art. His life and art were inseparably woven together. "I literally cannot live without working," Tchaikovsky once wrote, "for as soon as one piece of work is finished and one would wish to relax, I desire to tackle some new work without delay." The purpose of this paper is to give you a background concerning Tchaikovsky's biography, as well as to discuss his various works of
I am not that great of a singer, therefore, I have never sung outside of the shower. I do not play any musical instruments either, though I would not mind learning how to play the drums. I have received a little formal training in music when I was in elementary school. I used to be able to read some notes, but I probably have forgotten everything now. I do wish to perform music someday, if I could ever learn. I think the most valuable thing for me to learn in this course would be to understand the role of music in the world, and how it has come to shape the people in it. I would like to understand the different origins of music throughout the world. I feel like I already have a great appreciation for music though. This is what I hope to get out of this
Peter Tchaikovsky was a famous Composer from the 19th Century. He is known as the most famous Russian composer in history (“Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Biography”). Some historians think that he was Russia’s first truly professional composer ("Tchaikovsky Music's – Famous”). His music was performed during the late 1800s. He created many musical works throughout this time as a composer and many of these works are still listened to today.
The area I am most interested is elementary education and certified in bilingual education. When I moved to this beautiful country without knowing anything about the culture or the language, my teachers were those who supported me and taught me the language. They helped me to integrate into this peculiar country. My teachers are the ones who inspired me to study and become a bilingual teacher. One of my goals is to help the students integrate into this culture and teach them the language with the same love and affection my teachers did. My planned pathway to become a teacher would be graduating Cumberland County College with an associate’s degree in education. After graduating, I plan to transfer to Stockton University to earn my bachelor degree in bilingual education. I would like to start working as a teacher assistant, and gain more experience that will help me when I become a teacher.
