Simon Sun Reflection
On April 23rd, 2011, I went to Simon Sun’s concert at Presbyterian Church, Williamsburg. Simon Sun is a senior at the College of William and Mary majoring in Neuroscience and music. He has played piano for almost seventeen years and was a finalist in the Young Artists International Piano Competition. I was so impressed by his performance on that day, because I have started to learn piano at an early age also, but I could never be as good as he is. Simon is a skillful, dynamic, and energetic player.
With a handsome appearance, Simon bowed to audience for a second and started to play. He has played five big pieces of music totally. The first piece, China Gates by Adams John, was a dynamic one. It’s all about changing modes as it passed through

Although, there are many undertones about the way the presentation was done, the fact remains that the Piano holds a top place in our history. The following lines capture some of the high points of the event.…

    Essay 'Samuel L. Williams Endowed Professorship In Music'

    As a colleague of Dr. Jiang, I am aware of her enviable profile as a piano soloist, chamber musician, and collaborative pianist (a term replacing “accompanist” to describe the role the pianist plays in an instrumental or vocal recital performance). I am impressed not only by the high status venues that have sponsored her performances, such as New York’s Lincoln Center, but also by the exceptional musicians with whom she has shared the concert stage. She has performed chamber music and recital programs with a host of renowned performers that include violinist Itzhak Perlman, Cleveland Quartet violinist Donald Weilerstein, Kronos Quartet cellist Sunny Yang, and Emerson Quartet cellist Paul Watkins. Recently she performed a piano…

    Joan Baez-60's Project

    When I was real young, a friend of my father’s gave me a ukulele, which lead me to learn four chords and I ended up learning how to play the rhythm and blues. Although my parents held the preconceived notion that music would lead me to drug addiction, I proved them otherwise. When I was 8, at my aunt's request, I attended a concert by “Popular Front” folk musician Pete Seeger, and found myself strongly moved by his music to the point that I began performing his songs publicly. My first public performance was in Saratoga, California, for a youth group from Temple Beth Jacob, a Redwood City, California, congregation. In 1957, I bought my first Gibson acoustic guitar.…

However, these measurable variables may not be the main explanatory factors which will influence the choice of consumers. Based on the above mentioned content, this research will focus on the decisive factors which will impact the public's final choice of car, especially in the…

    Artifacts Essay

    In “Rebel Music”, Daniel Felsenfeld delves into the inspirations he has drawn from music in his childhood. He tells of the struggles he experienced and the lack of inspiration from mandatory piano lessons from Ms. Shimizu. Although he dazzled her every time, he never felt connected to the music. Felsenfeld reminisced, “I was experiencing a personal drought, an acrid lack of culture of all kinds, especially music” (Felsenfeld 624). After he heard Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony while with a friend, he had an epiphany. He felt that in this moment, he heard music for the first time. From then on, he became obsessed and revolved his entire life around it. He then went on to become a composer despite his non-musical family background. Felsenfeld’s passion for music as a child encouraged him to be the person he is today, which is similar to the way gymnastics influenced my life. Gymnastics was a huge part of my life growing up, and I realize now that the sport allowed me to learn the valuable traits I use today. Being a gymnast taught me many things but especially how to be dedicated, how to be a team player and how to never give up.…

    Reflective Reflection

    Reflection allows an individual to identify the reasons or purpose of understanding the outcome of a particular situation in depth in term of emotions on thought and feeling on the topic area. In addition, Reflection is something that we do implicitly as part of being human, underpinning our identities through a process of negotiation between our sense of self and our experiences of others (Demetriou, 2000, p.210). Therefore, I have implemented this quote in my professional and personal goals I wanted and have achieved thought-out the process of the module.
