Singing

It’s in the cars we drive, the stores we frequent, the shows we love and the commercials we love to hate. Music is on our phones, computers, and tablets.

I started singing in my elementary school choir during the third grade and singing in choirs has followed me throughout my life ever since. I now attend a performing arts magnet high school for choral performance. Singing, to me, is something that defines who I am because I have been doing it for so long. I have spent countless hours in voice lessons, rehearsals, practicing, recitals, and concerts that I do not know what my life would be without it. Being a vocal student has allowed me to express

Since the beginning of time, people have always wondered why birds sing and chirp. The answer lies in “The Legend of the Birds.” Here is how it goes… Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a tree that reached to the heavens.

and overtones singing. Every sound in the world has an overtone. Some we can hear, some we can’t. When singing, I never heard overtones until someone else performed it for me for the first time. After some instructions, I started to notice overtones which was never there before. Sometimes I even doubt myself that they exist.

In both Walt Whitman's "I hear America Singing" and Sherman Alexie's "Hymn," America is uniquely defined. In Walt Whitman's poem, he describes America as being a place packed with many citizens singing to their hearts content. Each of these people, he writes, possesses their own trade or hobby that fulfills them. By belting their own melody, they each express their own vision of "The American Dream."

in 1952. However, I surprisingly really enjoyed this movie.

having a really bad sore throat one year, I tend to focus more on my singing. I try to constantly practice everywhere I go. I’ll be at home just singing or humming as I do chores or get ready for work. Often times I find myself comfortable enough to start singing at work as I prep the food or wash the dishes.
