they were singing that night. Treble Choir then proceeded with singing Ragtime Town, the first song I heard that night. While listening to this song, I pictured a saloon in the Wild West due to the vibrant, staccato piano accompaniment. In terms of the singers,…
At the NRJ Music Awards, Katy Perry was performing when her background tape skipped, revealing Perry was lip syncing. The host of the show came out and apologized, but asked Perry to perform from the top, truly singing this time. Perry’s second performance involved risk, lack of preparation, and dancing, thus proving no need to lip syncing was needed to perform. Ashlee Simpson ruined her reputation and career during her infamous performance of Saturday Night Live…
kids would watch the same movie over and over every day, we all had one. Maybe it was Cinderella or Beauty and the Beast; well, mine was Hairspray. I loved that musical and on my first day of school, I thought life was like a musical and started singing down the stairs to my kitchen. My brother then told me to shut up and I learned life isn’t as fun as the movies make it…

actions of people. Previous to this assignment, I was not as aware of how outside factors have important roles in how people react in a live music setting. I witnessed an audience go from basically just singing along with the worship group, to actually displaying actions of deep feelings and singing confidently along to it. It was nice getting to feel this and being amongst the environment of others deeply connected into the music. We often talk in class about how music can speak to people but…
wonderful parents I could have ever asked for. They are very supportive of my life and my singing career. They have tried getting people to let me sing at different events not just games at the school but at a college games. Animals and singing are two important things I would not be able to lose. Friday nights I sing and perform in the mascot suit. Saturday and Sunday I have rabbit shows and wednesdays are my singing lessons and when we do not have football games I hit up all of the pet stores…
Standing on stage at The Kennedy Center singing to an audience of veterans, I realized my future accounting degree could combine my career with a valuable cause. After previously taking a high school finance course, I wanted to major in accounting.

When my choir director revealed the 2015 trip destination, I was overjoyed in anticipation of…
On October 1, 2016, I attended Tabernaculo de Dios Filadelphia (Spanish Pentecostal church) special service that can be considered a mini concert. This concert took place in a small church pastored by two elderlies named Angel & Esther Carrasquillo. Pastors Carasquillos are not only pastors but their first ministry back in Puerto Rico was music. They’ve been in the music ministry since they were 15 years old and they are now in their late seventies so they have quite the knowledge and experience…
Have you ever wondered what the defiance between R&B and Hip Hop is? Or how they may differ? Well I have, yet before I can give you my conclusion I might want to begin by saying Music is a class in association with craftsmanship, also contains various orders inside it. It is a wide subject that interfaces from: Nation, Pop, Gospel, Musical show, Hip-Hop, Rap, Tech, R&B and so on.
