My identity is music. Music is an open window into which we are. One only has to look through this window to see our moods, personality, and our hopes and dreams. When looking through this open window, I see myself caught in waves of sorrow in my own life. In between the phrases of music, my life is being told.…
My life sounds like a lot of things, the sound of my kitten making strange noises because she doesn’t meow, the sound of my brothers chasing each other up the stairs, and the sound of my entire family having dinner at my house for a special occasion. But, those aren’t the only sounds. I have grown up in a household where music has always existed. In every car ride there was always music. That's what I remember most about my childhood, is the music that we listened too. There were memories that had nothing to do with them of course, but there are many small memories that are centered around a certain song that we'd all dance and sing to. The song itself isn't what's special, it's the memories that go along with it.…
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’m a very quick learner. If I struggle with getting a technique down the first few times, I quickly adapt to find a way to make it work for me (I do this quite often in my guitar class). I’m a very passionate person when I believe in something strongly enough, I will defend my opinion and try to get others to see the situation in the same light that I do. I’m also a very creative and artistic person; I love art, drawing, and music. I may not necessarily be the best at drawing, singing or playing my guitar, but I love to do it anyway because it makes me happy, especially when I can hear/see my improvement.…
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.…
I am very intelligent and can do math problems in my head a lot faster than everyone else. Likewise, I am a very talented writer and I have a diverse vocabulary. I used to get honor roll all the time, until I got to high school, now I get Bs and Cs. I like to play all the sports in the book. The sport I am best at is basketball.…
Music transcends sensory input. The strong vibrations creating sound waves that express emotions of poetry with or without words. Through music, I escape mundane routine; my exploration of another side of…
People listen to music for a variety of reasons. Some listen to music to relax in which it serves as a sort of escape from everyday life, some because they are a fan and follow a certain artist, and others because they can relate the lyrics to their own personal experiences. Whichever the case may be, music has and continues to serve an important role in people’s lives.…
Music is an essential part of my life. It affects me in many ways, not just emotionally, but physically as well. I have been listening to music for almost my whole life, but the type of music I have listened to has changed throughout my life. I have been influenced by many people as to the type of music I have and currently listen to.…
I could say that I am aware of my own weaknesses and strengths. I know my own capacities — my potentials and assets that make me standout from others. I also know my disadvantages — my negativities that make up my flaws and weak spots. Evidently, as a person, I also have the inclination not to distinguish my own traits and behaviours. My friends…
Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if there was to be a soundtrack playing in the background of it all. The soundtrack would just continue to play making sure to capture every moment in my life a significant one. When approaching a crush the soundtrack would be sure to pick a song that explained exactly how I was feeling, or on the days when nothing seems to be going my way, music that I like to call “thinking music” would continually play. Although having a soundtrack playing in the background of my life is an impossible idea to happen, there are still those certain songs that seem to sing in my head for every moment I have experienced in my life. From the days that seem perfect, to the days that have never ending misfortunes, there is almost one song to capture and describe every single one of the moments.…
I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart, [sic} Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like [sic] or water.…
As I write this, I am listening to the newest album by one of my favorite artists. I am captivated by its simplicity and its complexity at the same time, and what I mean by that is there is so much effort put into producing music; trial and error and hard work is put into every song I’ve ever heard on the radio. It’s an incredibly long process, for me it’s also incredibly difficult. However, hearing something so simple as a random song on the radio can be enough to change a moment, and alter my life. I came to love all music, so I took a theory course where I immersed myself in every aspect of music theory I never knew existed. I believe that I will always pursue this dream of music, whether I make a career out of it or simply keep it as a hobby is yet to be determined, but for right now I know that it is how I spend my time, and how I wish to spend my…
I chose this picture of me playing trumpet because it reflects upon my most primordial activity, music. By any means I am not the best at playing the trumpet, but I find it to be one of my more enjoyable hobbies. I listen to music constantly, whether I'm studying for a test, reading a book, hanging out with friends, I'm usually always indulged in some sort of music(mostly classical music). Music to me is like an adventure, travelling through a variety of emotions the composer lays out ahead of you. I am so grateful for music, without music I don't know what I would do with…
Music has always been a part of us ever since the begging of time. It’s been with us threw the happy, great times and also for the not so happy bad times. We can express ourselves with music by telling a story with in the lyrics and even with the beat showing, telling how we are feeling. It can be a cheerful, carefree, joyful beat, to gloomy, mournful, blue beat, but not everyone has the same taste in music. Music it’s self is unbelievably stunning and so breathtaking.…
