Music is great to listen to, almost everybody can agree with that, but the way people use music is definitely the most amazing component of it. Music can be used to pass time, to have a good time, and also

George Frideric Handel was a great musician who composed many operas and oratorios especially in London. He is an inspiration of many due to his hard work in both music and other fields. For instance, in Hanover, Handel was made the Kapellmeister to the Elector, George Louis who favored him and sent him to visit England for twelve months. During his first visit in London, he was received at Queen Anne 's court and stayed there for the first eight months. However, his great interest was in Vanbrugh’s new opera house.

As he went forward in the different songs, it began to sound more and more intricate each second. When he went to the second to last set of music, the songs created by Leo Brouwer, he first played in piano; however, after about a minute or two into playing, he started playing in presto and fortissimo. That sudden jump in dynamics and tempo startled me for a second. The resulting sound reminded me of what I hear in horror movies during a jump scare. After playing this set, the soloist stated that these songs by Leo Brouwer were used for a movie.

It fits the mood of the scene behind the eyes of Alex and his mental state. When the minister visit him, as he feeds Alex, it is looking like this interaction is humiliating for him and Alex enjoys it. They get mutual benefit from their arrangement and Alex gets 9th Symphony as his reward. As we can see from his expressions he now can enjoy this music, presumably he will be able to act violent again. The 9th Symphony was a part of the technique that puts Alex in that position, and it seems like a nice way to mark the end of his troubles with the same

George Jacob Gershwin was a composer and pianist. Gershwin’s compositions covered both popular and classical genres, and his most popular songs are widely known. Gershwin studied piano under Charles Hambitzer and how to do composition with Rubin Goldmark, Henry Cowell, and Joseph Brody.

Gershwin moved to Hollywood and composed many films until his death in 1937 from glioblastoma multiforme, a deadly brain tumor.

As he began to grow up, until his teen years, he met Andrés Segovia, one of the most amazing guitarist in the world, and he got advice from him. At the time around 1966, people were inspired by Segovia, and once came on BBC TV and he said “I seen the future of the guitar." He was right! There was a future for many people who got inspired by him, that includes John Williams.

I spent hours reading through musical theory books so that I could understand the background and general makeup of playing the piano. My time and dedication to learning allowed me to become a good piano player and showed that I belonged in that community. Becoming a part of the piano playing discourse community allowed me to become a part of a new family in which I felt accepted. Being a part of it has taught me many new things that do not apply just to the community itself but to life in general. I tried to learn about the basic notes before starting classes, I asked to be taught a few songs beforehand as well, and after I joined

Beautiful tones filled the room. The song sang of peacefulness, but also sorrow as the piano sang the melody. His fingers skimmed over the keys as if he held his hand in a gently flowing stream. He knew he was doing superb.

I help pass music out, and I help anyone if they don't know their parts or if they are having trouble with any of the music. There are a lot of people in chorus, so Mr.Bell can't help everyone all the time. He has taught me a lot about music over the past 4 years and I believe he trusts me to help the underclassmen with anything they are having trouble with. This experience helps me because it gives me chances to teach what I know to my peers around me. Learning piano has definitely been a hardship for me.

I would also like to take photography, a class that I have always been interested in taking, for I wasn’t able to take at my school throughout my middle school years.
