I love being creative in many ways‚ but I would say my creative side comes out most often in my music. I play several instruments including the cello and bass; I started playing the cello in junior high‚ and now there is no going back. I am constantly learning and love the beautiful sounds I can evoke from the cello. I take lessons and play both cello and bass for my church as well as for myself. I have even gotten paid to pay on soundtracks for musicians and at weddings. I am working on the piano

The first listening guide piece I chose for this assignment was listening guide 51 “Wheat Song” which is from an Egyptian film song. The second listening guide I chose is listening guide 53 “Samoan Moon” a Hawaiian song. These two pieces are very different from each other. They represent the cultures they are from by the types of instruments used‚ the types of singing and the cultural traditions they each have.

Dear Gayle Forman‚ People often ask young musicians what inspired them to work hard. Most respond by giving a name‚ or a recording‚ but I respond with the name of a book. It’s a novel called If I Stay‚ and without it‚ I wouldn’t be the person I am now. Since I was young‚ I have been told that I am extremely talented in music. I have been playing violin since I was 6‚ and now that I’m 13‚ it’s safe to say that I owe over half of my life to the thrill of it. Music is in my family; my grandmother

Capercaillie The melody of “Skye Waulking Song” is based on a pentatonic scale (a scale with five notes per octave). All instruments play within the middle of their range‚ excusing the singer who sings a few head register notes to add some needed emotion to the notes. The Bouzouki (Greek musical instrument) and the piano play a counterpoint melody (a technique involving two simultaneous melodies) to help Section A to move along. Vocables are frequently used throughout the piece‚ this allows the
