I live in a very small town with a total of about 800 people. My school has 98 students 7th-12th grade. Class sizes are small and sometimes non-existent. Our school does not give us the opportunities you may receive in a larger school like foreign language classes, but this school has given me the best opportunity I have ever had. My 9th-grade year I decided to take a music class from a new teacher at my school. He was not very well liked and by the end of the first term I was the only student in his class. It was hard to be the only student. My class consisted of a strict schedule that the two of us followed every day. First I would come to class and make sure I had all my stuff that was needed for the lesson. Next, with the help of my teacher, I pushed the piano out into the hallway where we were in sight of the camera, rules so legal action would not happen. We would sit there and play for the rest of class, 5 minutes before school was over we would wheel the piano back to the classroom and I would leave. Through this experience, I was able to develop a friendship with this teacher that still is there today. During one of our classes, I was learning a song by Maroon 5 called Payphone. This song was very hard for me to learn and I took a lot of work to learn it. I practiced and practiced to achieve my goal. I played that song so much and so often I had it memorised. As the song became easier I played it faster. Soon the song was almost not recognizable because of how fast I was playing it. My teacher stopped me in the middle of my song and gave some …show more content…
You can spend thousands of dollars trying to look the prettiest but someone will always come along and look prettier. Everyone is different no one looks the exact same, except for identical twins those can look the same, and there is only one you. Why try to be someone else and fail when you could be you and
1. A fugue is a contrapuntal composition in which a single theme pervades the entire fabric, entering in one voice (or instrumental line) and then in another. Based on the principle of imitation. An example would be Bach’s cantata Wachet auf.
This school is a tradition is my family. My great grandpa, grandpa, father, and now my brother attends as a very successful student and athlete. This school has changed my life drastically. I do not live with my brother, Will. Which is hard for all my family.
I think that there are two musical ideas in this piece with the pattern AABBAAB. Idea A starts at the beginning and ends at 0:16, then repeats itself until 1:21. Idea B occurs during 1:22-2:17 with a saxophone carrying the melody of the piece. Idea B is started again during 2:18-3:17 but this time, a piano takes the melody. Idea A begins again at 3:18-3:45 and repeats again at 3:46-4:15.
I had to leave all of my friends and favorite teachers. I went from Cloverdale to Taylor’s Crossing Public Charter School. I went there for fifth and sixth grade then I changed again and came to Rocky Mountain. Coming back to the district was a little hard but most of my friends recognized me and all I really had to do was get used to the schedules and routine. I have enjoyed all three of the schools
High school was a roller coaster ride for me, from the endless fun of parties to the minor breakdowns and panic attacks that would land myself in the hospital. The pressure and stress got to me and the fact that failing out of the school that I’ve been going to for twelve years with long life friends was coming to an end. Now that I look back at it though it might have been the best decision for my well-being because then I would of not been able to meet the people that I met at Chamblee Charter High School. You would think moving from a private to a public school would be a big cultural shock, you are very correct. Atlanta International School, which was the school I went for basically my whole life, was a very open minded, well rounded, and accepting establishment since the most of the students where from all over the world.
The first day of college was different for me since it started during the summer. My writing skills in the beginning of the class weren 't as strong as they are now. I knew college would be a much more difficult than high school because there would be a larger work load. The diagnostic essay was the first essay I wrote in college. I was really worried about the results I would get on a college level.
I reached out to new students to make friends, I met with teachers to improve my scores, and I prayed. I prayed not myself, but for others to realize the person they were missing out on. It was December of my sophomore year, I came home and dropped everything and signed myself up to visit the public school in my district, Wyomissing Area Jr/Sr High School. That next day was one of the best days of my life. I gained more friends that day than the past two years of my life.
Musical scoring is an essential element to the enhancement and heightened stake when it comes to emotion in film and on stage. The use of song helps the story travel along but also keeps audiences intrigued. Specifically looking at the work of composers: Stephen Schwartz and Alan Menken, we can discuss what similarities they both have within their music and what differences both composers present. Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz are two of the most famous composers of musical theatre in the world today. They are famous for writing some of the biggest hits on Broadway and have been responsible for some of the most popular musicals in history.
However, I love my school. From creating the Student Council my freshmen year, to serving as Freshmen, Sophomore, and Senior Class President, I work to the best of my abilities to better my school. My junior year, when Noel Community Arts Middle School was in the process of closure, I organized students and invited at
Music has a powerful impact on people, and can change people in a dramatic way. When people go to concerts, they don’t only listen to the music being played, they also look at what music and songs they are playing or singing, and the order of the songs. The order of the concert has an effect over whether the audience will enjoy the music or not. Above, I listed what I think the order of the songs should be. The concert repertoire should be in this certain order, based on our concert’s intended purpose, what our audience is feeling during the concert, and what Christmas means to each individual in the audience and performing.
A few years ago I moved out of my hometown and ended up attending a new school. The new school was much nicer than my old one. It was freshly rebuilt with brand-new floors. The whole place looked more modern than the old-fashioned building I used to go to. At the new school, the people dressed and acted differently.
Whenever I think about what I have learned since the beginning of this course—English 101, It always gives me a great pleasure to tell myself and people around me that I have learned something great; something that can make me a better writer. However, I have learned some writing skills based on the course’s teaching learning objectives that can help me in my future courses. Also, I’m glad, because my strength in writing essays have increased. Most especially, writing narrative essay in MLA formatting. I might not be an excellent writer, but I know I have not stopped learning, and I know I will get pay-off in the long run if I can keep the ongoing pace of my learning—guaranteed.
As each writing assignments is graded, I realize how much I have improved as a writer by the grade and the fewer mistakes that I have made in them. As each time the grammatical and spelling mistakes are fewer on each paper. I want to share how I have grown as a writer on second semester by being in class and reflecting on my previous assignments. Even though there weren’t many writing assignments this semester. There were some assignments that I have done poorly on.
When I would get done with an assignment, I would chose another classmate I seen struggling and help them comprehend to their understanding. When we were finished I would encourage them to help another classmate struggling. My freshmen year I was elected Student Council class president. Also my freshmen year I was one of the first ninth graders to make the girls varsity basketball team. Everyday at practice I would run and practice my hardest.
Introduction Roger’s and Hammerstein’s The Sound of Music is arguably one of the most well known films that many can admit to watching at least once in their lifetime. People all around the world have found this musical inspiring, as it documents growth and hope amidst the horrors of World War II. This incredibly well written film is based on the story of the Von Trapp family who escaped Austria when the Nazis invaded it during the war. Part of what made this movie so interesting on so many different accounts was the music that accompanied the vivid and exciting scenes. Without music, many could agree that our world would be a sad, quiet, dull and depressing place.
