became very obvious that even the prestigious Louisville Orchestra and their devoted following could let their hair down and rock and roll for one evening. Admittedly‚ I was unsure of how the Orchestra would pull off an arrangement of Led Zeppelin tunes. I had so many questions prior to the performance. How would they incorporate Robert Plant’s vocals‚ which are so integral to the music? How would they

So You Want to Lead an Orchestra? 1. Describe the orchestra’s pay structure in terms of levels‚ differentials and job- or person-based approach. I believe the orchestra has a highly hierarchical pay structure‚ with many pay levels and large pay differentials between pay levels. It also seems to be more person-based than job-based structure (considering lowest paid Violin II receives less than half of the pay of the highest paid Violin II). 2. Discuss what factors may explain the structure. A

Paradise Road is a good example of how conflict has the ability to do both. Through the formation of the vocal orchestra‚ the uniting of the group is portrayed which further allows the breaking down of the ever present social class distinctions. On the other hand‚ the loss of hope causes some of the women to drift away from the rest of the group and cause a division

I was recently given the privilege of playing in the pit orchestra for the musical at my high school. I loved the experience of meeting other members of the music department‚ sharing many cookies. Challenging myself by playing music that I didn’t usually played exposed me to different music that went from five sharps to one flat.

When a person’s perception is skewed‚ their needs high and their belief of what can be done that is when trying to motivate them in another direction is difficult.
