Jazztet, Jazz Ensemble, and Jazz Orchestra concert at eight in the evening in the Fresno State concert hall. The following will cover a review of the program as well as my point of view and reflection. I was expecting to see Christmas decorations or instruments decorated since it states on the bulletin “winter Jazz concert” but I was wrong once I saw the pamphlet. The reasons why I thought that was because the last time I attended a winter music concert a while ago I’ve seen those things. I…

Louis Armstrong starts playing the trumpet in the first song, “When It’s Sleepy Time Down South,” almost immediately after walking onto the stage.

Granted, when I was accepted and when I made my decision to attend, I started to get the feeling that this would be the case. Growing up, I didn’t really think that this would be my case or story, but looking back on it, I am so happy it is. I was born in 1998 in Toledo, Ohio. Toledo as always been the place I call home, and I have spent most of my time in Ohio as well. I know the…

It was not too long ago that I started listening to the music of Beethoven out of interest. I had always dreamed of organizing my own symphony, making each and every piece with the technical mastery of that of the most incredible composers like him. When it came to portraying serious emotions such as anger, frustration or even sorrow; few could contest Beethoven. For this assignment, I decided to go with one of my favourite pieces of his: Symphony No. 7. Focusing on the second movement, before…

However, the man playing the instrument then quickly picks up his pace and the notes being played get higher and higher. This builds up anticipation that something exciting is about to happen. Then suddenly, Duke starts playing the piano and the whole composition seems to change. The piano seems to be the most exaggerated instrument in this composition; perhaps this is…

other issues that I’m having outside of the music stand that’s in front of me just disappear from my mind. It’s a time that my head becomes clear and I know exactly what I want. I found that I wanted was to learn how to create happiness from my instrument and to translate it into the language of classical music.
