around playing “over the break.” These are higher clarinet notes that involve a lot of coordination between both hands. As the level of our music progresses, these notes will become more prevalent. Owen can often play these higher notes out of context, at a slow tempo, but he finds it challenging to play them at the speed that we are currently performing our music. I think that the feedback that SmartMusic provides highlights this challenge for Owen. (In class, he probably feels more comfortable

When you meet someone for the first time, you never know the impact they will have on your life. For example, when taking music lessons with Peter Hix, I never pictured myself crying the day he packed his bags and left for California. I first began taking lessons from Hix when I was twelve and continued learning from him until the age of sixteen. Though I was just learning the ukulele from him, that did not deter him from challenging me with pieces that should in no, way, shape, or form, be played

I, Randy Rivas, attended a solo performance by Dr. Li-shan Hung at Cerritos College. The performance location, took place in the music building at BC-51 on January twenty ninth at eleven in the morning. The performance was played on the piano with three amazing pieces; Impromptu in E-Flat Major D.899 NO.2 by Franz Schubert, Ballade No.4 in F Minor, Op.52 by Frederic Chopin, and lastly Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel by Johannes Brahms. For this being my first concert like this, I had a

Faris Jalalluddin HUM2510DAYAA 12/11/14 The Pipe Organ The music it makes is as complex as it is majestic. The pipe organ is one of the largest and most technically sophisticated instruments. Building one is an incredible feat of engineering and craftsmanship. Early man discovered he could make music by blowing across hollow reeds of different lengths. In ancient Egypt, an engineer’s device would later would become the basic technology of the pipe organ. A steady airflow without mouth blowing while

why listen to music? It is a known fact that people usually listen to music thinking it can help them do work. To many, that is true, but the genre might be a reason when listening to music while doing work. So, I am wondering if classical music can help you do work better than rock or the other way around. Rock is usually being used for intense stuff such as working out and to get your blood pumping, so some people listen to it to have a short burst of energy. While, classical music can be used to

which were in his music. In the early 1900’s, music began to change. Composers wanted to celebrate the new modernity of Russia. Many wrote pieces with dark, dissonant chords, used sounds such as sirens and artillery as instruments, and replicated the sound of machinery (Anderson 481). These sounds were a musical illustration of the futurist movement of this time, rejecting past traditions of art. Never before had music sounded like this, and futurism was an important point in music history. Young

from the concerts we used to put on in high school. The parents were always antsy, and they clapped in any break in the music. You could hear phones going off, people coughing and talking. Pop concerts have people standing and dancing. This was a much more refined, elegant experience. No one spoke audibly during the performance, people held in their coughs until the breaks in the music. No one clapped between movements. The demeanor of the people on stage was also poised. Everyone looked like they had

a daily basis, affect the brain on musicians compared to non-musicians (Collins, 2014). Musicians have to multitask whenever they perform on a stage. Musicians have to play their instrument, read the sheet music, look at the conductor, and listen to their peers in order to maintain a balance in music. All of this tasks are happening all at once, which makes the brain work twice as hard compared to the average brain. The use of these skills not only during a performance, but also during practice, allow

directed by Dr. Xun Sun. This concert featured the best symphonic music from Ludwig van Beethoven. The orchestra consisted of about 30 kids. There were several different instruments including: violin, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, flute, french horn, oboe, trombone, trumpet, and the piano. Although there were many different instruments the main instrument that was being played was the violin. The concert had some great different music, some of which started by featuring a solo instrument and then having

This will allow you to read sheet music, even if you have never heard the music before. While this is a slower process, the foundation you are laying for future guitar success is greater because you will have already mastered reading music. Many guitar enthusiasts, who simply want to learn the electric version for fun almost never choose to learn to read music. Instead, they generally learn the four-stringed electronic guitar in chords, which
