179 Words1 Page

A musician playing at one side of a stage would be unable to hear music being played by another musician at the other side some several metres away and so a conductor beats time which both can follow. Even if he could hear there would be a small time lapse between the two. A conductor's role is to keep the musicians together at the same beat. People often ask about the role of a conductor, since he or she is the only person on stage who doesn't make a sound. Most of their work takes place before they ever meet up with an orchestra – studying, exploring and analyzing the music, seeking to understand the composer's vision.

    One of which was the unbearable learning curve of playing an instrument. The early years of our orchestra performances of “music” was relatively similar to a swarm of bees and I was surprised that our audience could sit through our torture, but Maestro Johnson did not yield to the challenge that was in front of him. He did not give into our lifeless prowess; instead, he helped give life to what I can call music to my ears. Day in and day out, he would continue to stand at the heart of our orchestra, as our conductor and as our mentor, and ensured that every time we laid foot into his class, we improved both in musical talent and in self-identity. Maestro Johnson allowed the weight of the orchestra to rest on his shoulders as he carried us to greater heights, making leaps and bounds to the peak of success.

    By doing this, the film will be flowing and it can also help condense the time that the whole film is played, which can help save a lot of time to the audience because sometimes they don’t have time to watch a long film. The film will not look like it is broken up into different parts of the scenes as people are watching it, but instead every piece will be put together, so it can look like they are watching a real movie and most importantly, it will look professional.

It is very hard to picture and remember how the live orchestra sound by listening to it only once.

    Reflection on the 5-Days Journey to Become a Better Listener Throughout the 5-days practice of active listening and basic attending skills in daily conversations, it was easiest for me to practice empathy. I found it easy to perceive the situation through others’ eyes and perspectives in order to capture the accurate meaning when I was nonjudgemental and listened attentively to others. As a result, I was able to develop empathic rapport in which I accurately sensed and understood others’ concerns as well as feelings as compared to when I conversed without empathy, allowing my presumptions to affect my interpretation of others’ meaning due to the need for others to agree with my worldview. Besides that, I was able to practice basic empathy, which is the second level of empathy where I paraphrased
