Waiting on the world to change: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0WDppVEpRo&list=PLIu9b2uUt31OMfZ1S0SgwR94v2NBCGRJx I’m doing my project on the selections from a singer who has capture my ears with

his music “Max Schneider” He had done a few covers on YouTube he has also created

some of his own songs. He has been television shows (such as “beauty and the beast”)

and movies (such as Disney channel’s “Rags”).the songs i have selected are in my own

When the first song “Breakeven” came on the piano solo was amazing. The tempo

was at a moderate tempo. Then i observed that no more then about 11secs in the first

verse started .The song had the line had so much hate in them but you could feel the

sadness from the tone of the music.The words read a story of a heartbreak (“cause when a

heart breaks .....”)and the man is in an asylum or prison (“cause i got time and she got

freedom”) or its a metaphor saying that he is sad and he feels like he’s in a prison.I

personally love songs that use their title in the song. I also like how the singer is a tenor

and can reach song alto parts.

I tried through the whole song of “ breakeven”but couldn't tell whether or not it was

in flat or sharp. I really fell in love with this during the Vamp i was just like wow. The

pianist had so much legato

    What terror has been brought upon you, my family? My most precious musical scores. Within those bars and staffs lay further profound melodies and blissful stories, with crescendos and rising chromatics presenting the climaxes and memorable flashbacks. How careless could I be? But of course, who would harm Keller’s wife and child? I pace my elderly, punctured body and soul towards the Swan. Tears streamline down the saturated face of a person so famous masked by someone so blind and ignorant. And now my consequences have rightfully found their place, forcing me to become invisible to the world. I am like a continuous, endless rest in a piece, after a contrast from mezzo forte to sforzando arpeggiated chords climbing up the piano. I was a maestro, known by all, forced to disappear within the thin air of Vienna and to reappear in the humid, alien land of booze and blow.…

    Sonny's Blues Speech

    “As it rained the evening when you left, and I was sad” you told me that, or perhaps you sang those words while your mind deranged was looking for an inspiration, a light, or just the right words to define your tormented and noisy soul, you looked the perfect way tell me that you would leave me, that you would lose yourself in the way of your follies where others were already sailing aimlessly, and I couldn’t rescue you from that place. You sang until the end of your moons, the end of your emotions, those emotions that we never shared, and we never will. However and after your heartless speech I told you a story, the story of two brother who were lost in the incomprehensibility of one of them and the intolerance of another, I told you the story of Sonny’s Blues by James Baldwin, but you stayed singing “This is my punishment, crazy little heart, It kills my soul so little by little I lose sleep, it has never hurt so much, and this suffering is killing me”.

    Concert Essay 1

    On February 19, 2015, Jared Blum at the Sacramento State University had his first concert of the spring semester featuring plenty of special guests. This concert was presented as partial fulfillment of the requirements that he needs for his Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Studies. Jared Blum, with his special guests (Megan Spurlock on the clarinet, Morgan Childres on the trombone, the Jazz Combo, the Jazz Essemble, and other special guests), collectively performed nine pieces along with a medley that compromised of three songs at the concert. Prior to taking this course, one of the first questions that I asked myself was “what do I know about jazz?” I have always consociated jazz music with the African American culture, mainly because of the general idea of how jazz music can give off a “bluesy” rhythm. Little did I know how diverse jazz music can be. “Creole Belles”, “Creep”, and the medley that compromised of “When you’re smiling”, “Swing that music”, and “Shiek of Araby” are the pieces that allowed the audience, including myself, to experience the diversity of jazz music.…
