From my early childhood‚ all the way until now and I am sure to the future and beyond I have been fascinated by music. I have loved to listening to‚ playing‚ singing‚ and writing music as well. I can vividly remember when I was very young in our family room we had a stereo and my family and I would dance and play along to music. I specifically remember The Beatles and The Eagles.

The length of this overturn is about eight minutes and played by two flutes‚ two oboes‚ two clarinets‚ two bassoons‚ contrabassoon‚ four horns‚ two trumpets‚ timpani‚ and strings.

I had the students play an excerpt from the exercise associated with their tested rhythm. That week‚ most students

The Romantic Era is arguably one of the most profound periods of time in music history. This was a point where musical forms‚ styles and progressions had been established for some time and are now taking a creative turn.
