Teen Choir: Music Analysis

As I unlocked my jaw from my mouth, nothing came out. The director and the instructor stared at me with open jaws. They weren’t able to take me in because I had lost my voice. I was the quiet 14-year-old, who lost the ability to sing falsetto anymore. My only strength was my baritone voice, but the choir, at the time, did not start a boy choir in their choir yet. I auditioned yet again, but the same result happened; however, this time, they had troubadours for me to start my life in choir: The choir that is called the South Bay Children’s Choir (SBCC)

It is late November, the week before the first performance for our choir. Even though we’ve had our music since June, we were woefully unprepared. Each section, including mine, was wrought with apathy. Choir wasn’t fun anymore.

The song was performed by Sherwood High School Choir and was sung by Carmen Groenweghe. Carmen Groenweghe, who was the main singer, sang “Someone To Watch Over Me”. In the beginning of the song, she started to sing articulately and very beautifully but the whole choir group didn’t. Well, they did but didn’t gave it their all. Some of them were too distracted and some were even lip syncing which that is unacceptable. Every choir group has to be ready and sing their hearts out. They have to be very energetic and enthusiastic. Even though they messed up a little bit, they performed pretty well.

I’m one of the youth members at Bethesda Church of God Inc. would like to tell you that it has been a pleasurable experience being part of your choir repetitions. Unfortunately I will be making a transition from High School to College very soon. Not only that, in the next 5 months I won’t be in Brooklyn no more. Who knows I’m might not even be in New York State. I notice that you have seen me arriving to your choir repetitions late. The reason for this is that I have a lot on my back this senior year. That coming to your choir repetition will be an extra burden for me.For instance, as a 12th grader ready to graduate past January 2017 I got to spend extra hours studying for the SAT’s, Acts, SAT Biology Subject test.And, on top of that I got

It was on April 19 that the Intro to Music class went to the Spring Voice Recital. Due to the last concert, I was excited to listen to the performers this week. Similarly to the other productions, there was anxious chatter upon entering the theater. Over the past couple of weeks, I have grown accustomed to this scene, or atmosphere. Furthermore, I look forward to attending in view of the fact that there seems to be a tight knit community among those who frequent the concerts. I get a sense that everyone knows everyone, and those individuals are exceptionally respectful of not only the performers, but those sitting in the audience as well. With that being said, there were some concerns going into the concert. I was worried I would not be able to connect and keep my full attention on the music because we were told the songs were in a different language. However, this was not the case.

The choir students had a experience of once in a life time. On November 11-14, the High School Concert Choir had the opportunity to perform at Ebenezer Baptist Church, the Church of Martin Luther King Jr. Early Friday morning, the students were up and ready with the company of Mr. Jordon the choir conductor, Mrs. Rhodes, Mr. Willis and Mrs. Garner, they sent out to ministry to many people. It was a long 9 hour drive but the students learn how to pass the time but all the fun,games and singing.

I went to my sister’s high school choir concert. I went in expecting them to be terrible but I was pleasantly surprised. There were several different choirs and they sang a range of Christmas songs. Some were definitely better than others but they were all decent. The choir teacher chose a lot of songs in other languages. Some of those languages included were Latin, Spanish, Swahili, and Hebrew. The sound quality of the venue was fairly good and most of the singers were also good but some of the boys especially were going through puberty and it was noticeable. There were also several different styles of music. There was a lot of jazz and several covers of Christmas songs with a jazz twist. There was also some gospel, but the rest of the songs were the standard Christmas songs. I enjoyed many of the songs, but I didn’t favor the ones in different languages. Also, I prefer rock or pop concerts to a high school Christmas concert, but it was still good.

Self-esteem deals with how an individual may accept their shortcomings or mishaps in life. Individuals usually weigh their own self worth and how it will affect his/her future in society. For example when a person has high self esteem; which refers to positive views of him/her this may include: self-belief in own abilities, self approval, and being troubled about what others

Self-esteem is a general appraisal of oneself in association to intrinsic positivity or negativity (Lamovec, 1994). It is a subjective evaluation of how an individual assesses their self-worth and value in context to various external factors (Rosenberg, 1965). This basic assessment of oneself has a formidable effect on human behaviour, emotion, cognition and motivation, the dynamics of which extend to multiple precincts of development, including academic achievements, careers, friendships, success and relationships (Turner, 2007). Research even suggests that

If you spend your life doing nothing, it doesn’t matter what kind of esteem you have. One of the factors that influence self esteem is what you achieve with your existence. The goals and objectives you set for yourself. How often and in what manner you challenge yourself.

People with healthy self-esteem like themselves and value their achievements. The beliefs everyone has about themselves often to be true, although actually they are only opinions. They are based on life experiences and what these experiences have given people about the kind of person they are. If someone experiences have been negative, their beliefs about themself are negative too. While everyone lacks confidence occasionally, people with low self-esteem feel unhappy or unsatisfied with themselves most of the time. The causes of low self-esteem can be hard to identify and tons of different people suffer for a variety of reasons.

Self-esteem is a major key to success in life. The development of a positive self-concept or healthy self-esteem is extremely important to the happiness and success of children.

Low Self Esteem is a very common thing nowadays with people criticizing each other due to social media. Self-esteem is an important and valuable building block in having a successful life.
