For my song analysis assignment, I naturally and instantly chose “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. This song was the anthem of the 70’s and still, our anthem today.

This song was greeted like a gift from heaven in the largely desolated musical ground of the mid-70s Freddie Mercury is the writer of the song also pianist and a lead vocalist in Queen. He wrote the song in his

Obviously, speeches are scary for anyone who hates public speaking. I happen to be one of those people; I get terribly nervous see all the faces staring at me. I am nervous about that sort of stuff, but I’m trying to get over it. Honestly, I think it was a great thing that I was able to get this speech out of the way. Once I get through doing something like this, I tend to get a lot more comfortable afterwards with my classmates. Doing these speeches even when I don’t want to is definitely a pro;

It was a very intimate concert and there was about 30 people there I would guess, I noticed that a lot of people were there to support their friends that were singing.

What are the most obvious themes in Chamber and Choir music? The concert I went to was a concert by the students from CGCC. They started of the concert with Jazz music, but I was unable to take notes on that because they were not exactly singing. It was more like an a capella except without any words.

My eyes widened as wide as saucers and I was at a loss for words. I wasn’t nearly as good at singing as my friends were and thought I wasn’t good enough. I’ve never been in a musical, done a solo in a concert, or done Opus. Once I was reassured I was going to be okay and that I wouldn’t be judged, I gave in. Once I finally picked a song, which took
