IEKHS Concert Choir
Why should I be accepted into Concert Choir? I recognize that there are many unruly decisions to join choir these days. That is why I am making a pledge to you. To the IEKHS concert choir that I will face the everyday decisions with you as a group that I will bring all I have to the table, and I will make this class one of my number one priorities. Not only will I accomplish those tasks but I will also, to the best of my ability meet all choir requirements that you, the IEKHS concert choir expect me to gain. Even though I have never had any experience in choir, I think of music as an escape to a new world. A world that contained for as long as many remember, their favorite things. I will fully commit to participate to not only

    Shining Night Concert Report

    Overall, I enjoyed my attendance at the concert choir held at Benedictine University. The show was well done and I could tell that the members of the choir worked very hard in preparation. Although there were eight songs, the concert went by fairly quick. There was only one baby grand piano in the middle of the stage, but other than that, it was interesting to see that no other instruments were used except for their own voices and they were able to project an excellent performance for the…

    Personal Essay: How Music Changed My Life

    Immediately wanting to join the band, I knew the only obstacle in my way would be convincing my parents. After all, neither one of them is musical in any way. At dinner that night, it was obvious that they were skeptical and not too keen on the idea of hearing the banging of a drum set in their home, but they ultimately gave me the chance to pursue this new-found passion. At that time, none of us could have imagined the impact that this decision would have on my life moving forward.…

    Singing Satire

    The support system of being in a group gets people out of the house and into chorus every week which is just one of the benefits that is specific to group singing and is the key part of why choral singers are reportedly happier than people who aren't choral singers. This joyousness that choral singers find in singing has been found in many cultures for many generations. There is a strong amount of nations where the mothers singing to their young seems common thread among the world- that would be the reason every nation has at least one lullaby. In fact, in the Women's Honor Choir we are singing "All the Pretty Horses", a Traditional American lullaby written from the perspective mother or caretaker singing a baby to sleep, promising that when the child wakes he or she "shall have all the pretty little horses". When we sing songs from diverse cultures and time periods we gain opportunities to learn about the cultures of others, and gain a better understanding of our own cultures and history. Another social virtue that chorus members embark on the path to would be empathy. Empathy or otherwise known as identifying oneself completely with an object or person, (Dictionary.com) is first reached by learning how to subsume into a group consciousness, immersing one's self into the community, which is something that is ultimately learned by any member in any choir. That’s one of the great feelings- that moment when we're performing and I get to stop being 'me' for a while so I can become 'us' feels great being a part of something bigger than…

    Formation Of A Discourse Community

    I know some people may be doubtful about my achievements especially since it was in such a little time claiming they could all have been fabricated or claiming I haven’t proven the choir as a discourse community. That is why I also to elaborate on the Logos-skills that was necessary for me to obtain so as really fit in. One of them is communication skills. According to educator and researcher John Swales in “The concept of Discourse Community”, intercommunication and relationship are essential in such communities. So, through constant activity and communication in the group, I got to know some secret things and resources only accessible by those in the choir which I think is pretty cool.…

    Essay On Marching Band Leader

    The band has been an integral part of my life since I joined back in 7th grade. I’ve had several hobbies over the years, but band is one of the few activities that have sparked my interest. It has created an environment where my strengths can positively shine. Without band I’d have a much less impressive student life. The band program has given me most of the friends that I have today, and that is something I couldn’t replace. The band is by far the most important aspect of my high school career, and I really feel that it is a highly positive stepping stone in my life.…

    Musical Autobiography

    I was in band for 2 years and in those two years I learned how to play the trumpet and how to proficiently read sheet music. In 8th grade I decided that I would again take choir and I would find that my years of experience and bettering my ear for music would pay off. I took choir for another 5 years after that and it was there that I learned two things. I learned how to play the piano which I now realize has helped me learn memorization skills and coordination. However, I also learned leadership skills. Because I eventually became proficient in my singing skill and I also was so eager to learn and better myself, I became the leader of my choir in my junior year of high school. I was then awarded the National School Choral award which was the highest achievement in high school for choral programs. After this achievement passed, I decided to continue bettering myself though choir, piano class, and music appreciation, to make myself an ideal candidate to help others with their musical journey. I have always wanted to be a music teacher because I feel that music is what teaches people how to recognize true beauty and develop insight. Music is my passion and that passion will never become burnt out. Music has been frustrating but I have never given up, I have only tried to make myself better.…

    Bca Entrance Essay

    I’ve also enjoyed dedicating part of every summer to improve my musical skills by attending various camps, including Longlake Camp for the Arts, Eastern U.S. Music Camp at Colgate University and Interlochen Camp for the Arts, where I was just invited to return on the basis of last summer’s performance. While I know that there may be others with comparable or better talent, my passion serves as the constant motivation for me in music as well as other aspects of my life. For example, being a dedicated Honor Roll student, taking weekly Temple classes and performing community service has been important and demanding as well. Managing these priorities has taught me a lot about tenacity, friendship and balance.…
