when you are beginning. While Hayley was playing, Ms. Temple gently nudged her elbow so she would move it up more. Before Hayley was able to start the second section, Ms. Temple asked if this was truly the tempo she wanted to take. Hayley was playing at a slower tempo, and Ms. Temple stated how she wanted Hayley’s adrenaline to start cooking so the tempo did not represent her current state of wanting to take a nap. The way Ms. Temple added humor into her lessons was so natural and impressive to observe. She did such a wonderful job balancing everything. At 4:11pm, Hayley started at measure twenty-five and focused on steady eighth notes. When Hayley’s confidence was uncertain, Ms. Temple whispered into Hayley’s ear, “You’ve got this”. At 4:13pm, …show more content…
Temple then explained how the accompanists job is to follow the soloist, and how you are in charge. At 4:17pm, Ms. Temple had Hayley play through the piece and focused on how the chords were slowing Hayley down. Ms. Temple also reminded Hayley to bring her bow away from the fingerboard and to play better than anyone else. Ms. Temple insisted on how this is a presentation and Hayley should present this piece like she is the authority of Bach. At 4:20pm, Hayley took out some music from her honors orchestra. Ms. Temple asked Hayley if the pieces were cool and what she wanted to work on. At 4:21pm, they worked on Hofeldt’s, She will hang the night with stars. Ms. Tempe had Hayley play through the piece since she had never heard of it. Ms. Temple asked if Hayley counted in three and what the biggest difference is between a piece in three versus four time. Ms. Temple explained how we as musicians must reset and think of the time signature with a real downbeat. Ms. Temple turned on the metronome for them to listen to for a few clicks before turning it off. Once Hayley arrived at a section with slurs, Ms. Temple asked what happened. Hayley would play the quarter notes as if they were eighth …show more content…
Temple asking him how school was going. Andrew was a very talkative and energetic boy with a heavy sense of sarcasm. While Andrew was telling Ms. Temple about school, Ms. Temple was putting a shoulder rest on his instrument and tuning it. At 4:51pm, Andrew showed Ms. Temple his fourth finger exercises. Ms. Temple asked for it to move to the C string. Once Andrew did this, Ms. Temple asked if he could make a thumping sound when his finger hit his fingerboard. Ms. Temple stated how it should be put down with authority. Andrew seemed to struggle with this and felt like it was his viola that was the issue. Ms. Temple quickly tried it on his viola to show him how it was possible and involved pinky strength. At 4:53pm, Andrew played through exercise thirteen and twenty-four in the Suzuki book. Throughout this exercise, Andrew was able to play the exercises well and make funny comments throughout. At 4:56pm, Andrew took out Suzuki Book 1 and opened it to, Bohemian Folk Song. He was able to play through this piece well! Andrew stated afterwards, “At least I tried to do the ritardando”. His knowledge and articulation of musical terminology was very impressive due to his young age. Ms. Temple really focused on Andrew’s posture by making sure he did not over exaggerate it. She also focused on note names and having Andrew verbalize it. At 5:00pm, Ms. Temple was moving to show the increase of bow and

Cortney. The first few lessons I attended I was advised not to even touch the bow. Before wielding the bow, it was imperative that I learned the basics of the strings, the notes they produce, and the parts of the violin. This nonetheless was just as exciting to me as playing Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. I began my violin studies through (and continue to practice today) the Suzuki Method, a school of teaching based predominately around training the student to recognize their own mistakes, and to correct them accordingly. Due to this, students learning through Suzuki tend to progress at a substantially slow rate to begin with, until suddenly, something ignites, and the student begins to progress much more rapidly than before. The Suzuki Method admittedly discouraged me at times. Maybe it was because I was only allowed to learn pieces by listening to recordings, and not reading music, or perhaps I found playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star literally hundreds of times a little too repetitive. Yet I persisted. Consequently, the Suzuki Method and Mrs. Cortney have molded me into a much more refined violinist than I would have ever become through any other method, as well as taught me the values of discipline and
She provided a brief description about the songs to the listeners to make it more lively and yes, she recited some of the lines fast. I was immensely engaged
When the concert first began, the three instrumentalists walked with energy despite their age. The first song, “Sonata I in G-Major Op. 2, Nr. 1” by Michel Blavet, was a Baroque Sonata. There were five movements and was played by the harpsichord, flute, and cello. All movements of the song were polyphonic because of the three instruments that had different parts and equal importance. In the first movement, I noticed that the flute tended to rise in pitch. In the second movement, I noticed that the melodies often repeated. Throughout the rest of the song the tempo changed from fast to slow and the flute would usually take the lead. On the last movement, the cello and the harpsichord
Ronnie’s School of Music was thus established and open its doors for the first time in 1987. Currently, LaBeau teaches a wide variety of instruments, predominantly the piano, the guitar, and voice, but she also offers lessons in the ukulele, the violin, and many more. LaBeau guides students in whatever instrument they so choose, making certain that the students’ passion to learn music is met. One of her current students, Angelica Montes, remarks, “Mrs. LaBeau is open to whatever instrument you want to play, and the best part about it is that she’s so helpful and encouraging. My friend wanted to play the banjo, and Mrs. LaBeau helped her out. So for the upcoming recital, my friend and I are going to have this intense banjo/guitar duel remake
On the evening of Sunday, December 16, 2012, I had the pleasure of attending a concert I’d wanted to see for quite a while. I was delighted to attend Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, performed by the Richmond Symphony Orchestra and the Richmond Ballet. The performance took place at Carpenter Theatre in Richmond Virginia. As I entered I felt a bit out of place. I’d never attended a performance quite like this one and I was a bit nervous. I took my seat to the left of the orchestra pit. I was thrilled to see how close I was. I had arranged for a seat near the orchestra so I could observe them as they played.

In Mrs. Pollard’s room I witnessed several lessons that made me pay attention to the way they were addressing basic music competencies. For instance, there was one activity where Mrs. Pollard pretended to have a ‘mute button’ that she could press while the students were singing a song, at which point the kids would mouth
The accompanist started tapping her fingers up and down, but the music that came out did not resemble the familiar tune I had chosen to sing! The pianist continually played. Not going on, but repeating the same few measures again and again. My head rushed, I did not know what to do. I began question myself again. “Why am I doing this? It is not suppose to be like this, they should just let me sing.” Then something clicked… just
"Mockingbirds don’t do one thing except make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corn cribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”-To Kill A mocking Bird. Although rarely mentioned in the book, the idea of killing a mocking bird appears very significant in Harper lee's To Kill A Mockingbird, hence the title. Lee uses this idea of the literal killing an innocent bird as a representation for the major underlying theme of racism. To Lee, the mockingbird represented the innocent inhabitants of Maycomb Alabama who, through racism, suffered hate, persecution, and murder.
I'm all for people debating an actual issue but Hayley/Haylijah/Klayley are by far the worst people to have a discussion with because they don't have anything to rebut what your saying, there's nothing to support their views and they get frustrated and don't think they need to (why even take part in conversation if your bitch when people don't agree?) make a fair point or they resort to shaming and insulting people for their ideas and beliefs.
Andrew is continuing to improve on his technique on the drum pad. He learned more scales on the bells and we continued to progress in the method book. We also looked through Andrew’s concert music.
I’m from the screech of a bow sliding across a bridge as I attempted to play viola. Every few notes, I would lose control; the horse hair slipped across the wood holding the strings in place. The clichéd screech of a beginner violinist rang throughout the house. Nonetheless, I kept trying, much to the dismay of my family’s ears. By fifth grade, I was finally able to create a decently in tune sound. I sat at the first stand that year.
This is Hayley Griswold from your HRSM 4610 online class. I would very much appreciate your input concerning a matter pertaining to my grade for the project. I reviewed your comments and I wanted to point out of few things about the deductions I recieved.
