The Most Important Day of My Life
The most important day of my life
Everyone has gone through many experiences that have transformed into unforgettable days or significant moments. I believe that my most important day was the first day I touched the guitar. After this moment, everything in my life changed. I had never played guitar before. However, when I was a child, I was able to remember simple melodies from TV programs. Then, I could repeat these melodies on my small keyboard. So my father decided to let me learn violin. Although I spent more than ten years learning violin, I only played by reading sheet music because my violin teacher only taught me classical music. I was not able to play and to understand “real music” after ten years of learning. After I graduated from high school, a friend of mine suggested that we should learn to play guitar because we both thought the instrument was cool. I will never forget that day when we went to buy our guitars in the guitar store. I saw a guitar player playing the guitar, which I really enjoyed. He became my first guitar teacher after we had a pleasant conversation. It took me such a long time to choose a guitar among several fantastic models in the store. The guitar is the most important part of my life right now and I practice it everyday. I want to be a great player and musician. I feel so lucky that I am a member of the Berklee family and I hope I can bring original American jazz to China after I

    For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for music. Even as a little girl, our home videos show me singing with my sister, tapping out rhythms, and playing on various toy instruments we had all over the house. My parents encouraged me to explore several instruments, but when I was five, a professional flutist who performed at our elementary school fueled my inspiration. Ever since then I have been committed to the music, making it an essential part of my life everyday.…

    Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve observed people playing music around me. My family is musically inclined, which I believe is the reason I’ve been drawn to it. In 2006, I began taking guitar lessons but I never had much interest in playing. Things changed in 2009, and I wished to be different. I wanted to be good at something so I began to teach myself guitar and have stuck with the guitar until now. In 2010, I began to play on my church’s worship team and I enjoyed it very much. I have now been a worship leader for the past four years and it’s something I love to do. I love it so much that for the past two years I have gone to Camp Electric to improve my skills. Camp Electric is a rock and roll music camp where musicians pick an instrument and they participate in workshops with that instrument. This camp is filled with people who love music and who love playing music. I have such a passion for playing that I have begun teaching guitar lessons and now I am expressing music with my patients in order to achieve a goal.…

    One of my greatest strength is my musical talent. My love for music has helped me greatly in the past; one of the instances was my solo for an opening of a concert. The rush of overwhelming joy from all the hard work and hours that I had put into practicing my solo had finally paid off. The rough and scratchy sounds of my solo, mixing with the rest of the band sounded like heaven. This solo re-ignited my love for playing guitar and really pushed me to continue what I loved to do most. My dedication of further improving my musical skill is why I am able to advise other to play guitar.…

    During my 6th grade year, I sparked an interest in the music world. I had attended a football game in which my brother played. It was my first time being at one of these games so when halftime was announced, I did not know what to expect. The band took their place on the field and started to play piece after piece. I was fascinated with how one stuck to a certain instrument and played it with ease. After the final song, they received a round of applause and headed back towards the stand. Throughout the rest of the game I was no longer to focus on the game that was taken place before me. I was intrigued…

    As a little girl I wanted to be just like Hannah Montana. As I got older, I wanted to be like Rachel Berry, a small town girl living out a big town dream. I wanted to be looked up to because of my musical talent. Walking into Mrs. Kaiser's 7th hour, 8th grade band, I didn't know that music would have such an impact in my life. Music has become the spark of my intellectual curiosity. There are millions of combinations of key signatures, chords, melodies and rhythm in the world of music just waiting to become attached to a sheet of staff lines and spaces. Ever since my first experience with music in the fourth grade, my mind began to explore all these combinations of problems. Music helped me with math, english and gave me a place to escape when I was put into undesirable situations. In Middle…

    I have performed in New York City, the Georgia Dome, Disney World, and Lucas Oil Stadium. I’ve been given the opportunity to work with distinguished individuals from around the country and invited to participate in select ensembles. But it has given me so much more than musical experiences. The discipline required to be a musician has weaved its way into many aspects of my academic life as well, creating a more focused and driven person who has continued to succeed in the rigorous academics I’ve been challenged with. I have also developed a creative mindset, that at times, seems uncontrollable. Whether it be creating videos, finding ways to incorporate engineering into an English project, or writing my next original percussion ensemble piece, it seems the applications for my creativity have become…

    I was always interested in playing instruments as a kid. I first started playing the electric guitar when I was ten. What I imagined it would be like was way beyond what it actually was. I was under the assumption that I would be learning songs that I liked and would be able to pick up the instrument rather quickly. I soon realized that I would be learning out of a beginners guide for guitar. In the book was songs like Mary had a Little Lamb and Ode to Joy. A ten year old me…

    I come from a family with a rich background in music. I don’t know a single family member that can’t play at least one instrument or doesn’t know how to read a piece of sheet music. When I was very young my mother would play music for me and sing to me. My father would also play the drums very loudly so the entire neighborhood could hear. Due to the fact that I was brought up around so much talent and music appreciation, naturally I decided that I wanted music to be a large part in my life forever and I want to be able to share it with the world. When I was in elementary school I decided to join the choir. This was a big moment for me because music was what made me want to get up and live my life, it was always something to look forward to.…

    I had always loved music. My parents once told me I sang before I spoke, I played piano before I could ride a bike. I listened to everything from mariachi music to soft jazz. For me, there are secrets hidden in the melody of a song, filling me with a need to decode it. That was why I had always loved to play and related to my old piano teacher, Rachel, who felt the same as I did.…
