The Music Of The Children 's Chorus Of Crane ( Ccc )

I have my parents to thank for devotedly taking me to chamber and orchestra rehearsal-one hour each way down the freeway-it makes me value the opportunities I have even more. Music remains my biggest source of joy and and a pathway to a myriad of opportunities. Through my passion for music, I’ve had the opportunity to work with musical masterminds such as James Ehnes.

I came to realize that playing music can bring someone great fortune. I had no plans for the future, no goals, nor dreams before I starting my path in music. I never wondered without direction. But one day, good fortune came to me. A fortune I would have never of thought of. It was The Gracias choir and music. I was thinking to myself “I have never been so happy nor have I had so much enjoyment to live. To have an open mind to people around the world by delivering my heart threw my music. It looks like a dream!"

In other words, I learned to coordinate and work with a large group while also helping that group look for a deeper understanding of ideas, a crucial skill for a teacher. My love of music has given me strength of character, leadership experience, and a belief in my own ability to tackle any challenge set before me, and I remain grateful that I learned at a pretty young age that music is a exceptional medium to express

My adopted family, who I consider to be my real family, taught me a lot. They help shape and mold me into the

people in my life supporting me. Today I found strength though in how proud my parents

I am very thankful for my family because they provide food for me and a roof over my head. My family always cheers me on during sports no matter if I win or lose because they know I tried my hardest. They also support me by coming to every single one of my soccer games and track meets that I have. I know that my parents love me because they tell me almost every day. My sister doesn’t say that she loves me that often, but I know in her heart she does because we always get along and she invites me to do certain activities with her friends. My family treats me with dignity and respect because they know I can handle certain things rather than when I could when I was five years old. I know my family will always be by my side and help me when needed.

They all have strong beliefs and have raised me to have such beliefs and morals as well. For example, they have taught me to never judge others because of their skin color, their gender, their intelligence, anything of the sort. This sort of lesson is very important in today’s society, where judgement and prejudice and very common problems that many people struggle with. My family has influenced me to become a better person in today’s society, and to be someone that won’t be viewed as ignorant or incompetent.

Music has always been a passion of mine. I joined my school’s orchestra in the fifth grade, and it was there that I made my first true friends. Together, we learned how to read music, play our instruments, and perform as a group. My positive experience with the orchestra led me to continue developing my love of music. I picked up a slew of instruments, including: the trumpet, the clarinet, the piano, and voice. While the trumpet and clarinet weren’t a great fit for me, I found that I loved singing, which led me to join my school’s choir in the seventh grade. Later that year, I began teaching myself how to play the piano.

From an early age, I have always had an interest and passion for music. In 2012, I had the privilege to lead a youth band at a local church. This experience shaped my personality and was a great influence in the development of my character. Punctuality, dependability, confidence, leadership and communication skills were only some of the many qualities exercised in this position. Many valuable lessons were acquired, some of which are: to never underestimate the incredible value of volunteer work, and to be unselfish. I learned to give of myself in service to others and the truth in the statement, “It is better to give than to receive”, was

Likewise, it taught me discipline and responsibility for their academics on subjects like math and reading. To add on, I convinced, orchestrated, and aided my teachers and students to cleaning environments within school and at other diverse spots. Also, along with my devotion to the fine arts programs, I collaborated with a retired orchestra teacher to reassemble concerts that were nonexistent after my freshman year. Not only that, my participation in the drama club brought satisfaction and it allowed me to be part of something vast and exhilarating. Apart from the midst of academia, I spent my time constructing and

My parents as well as my extended family have been crucial in providing the foundation for my beliefs, attitudes and values. I grew up

My family, who has always been there with me since the day I was born, is the biggest reason why I am the way I am today. The person, who has taught me not to be churlish, and to be as polite, kind and honest as I can be is my mother, who also told me her experience in life so that I can learn from her mistakes. The person, who has taught me to be strong and to never back down no matter what life hands me is my father, who although did not graduate from college, was still able to support my family with all he’s got. I remember when he used to travel out of the country for a couple of years to provide all our needs. My mother, who works twice as hard to give my family a happy and satisfying life by working two jobs, and by supporting me in every decision that I make, showed me love and courage by all her hard

After having some music classes in school, I decided that I wanted something more than catholic school choir, so I joined Bel Canto Children’s Chorus. We rehearsed every Thursday and worked on pieces selected by the director. Most of it was four part harmony and helped to build our musicianship before we moved onto

Thinking back on how I arrived at college and having the desire to come to continue my education, my family is what hustled me along. Even though we disagreed with each others opinions or views on certain subjects, my family consistently will be my number one supporters, especially my parents. My family has and will always be there to love and support the choices that I have made and will make in the future. Either they tell it to me in person, through a text, a phone call, FaceTime or even through a post on Facebook, I know that they support me one hundred percent.
