Running head: First day First Day Ever since I could remember, I have been utterly terrified to speak in front of more than two or three people. From grade school through high school, when I had to do a presentation or address an audience I would get butterflies in my stomach, sweat, and stumble my way through whatever I was doing in sheer agony. Once I was out of high school, I just found myself avoiding any situation where I had to speak publicly. Problem solved! Until I came to Waukesha
Interesting history class It was the first day of my sophomore year; I was walking down the hallway when I stumbled upon my friend who looked like he was in a hurry I stop him to ask a quick question. “Hey dude! Do you know where my history class is at” I asked “Um it’s over there by the bathrooms” he replied “but dang, you have Mr. Rojas” he added. “Oh, what makes you say that?” I asked him “Well you’re going to suffer; I barely passed, like with a 60%” “Man… that sucks well I’ll see how I
In between my sophomore and junior years of high school, my pastor began taking flight training with another church member who was an Air Force flight instructor. My pastor highly recommended that I also get my license with him, and after talking with my parents, began my flight training as a sixteen year old student. After about a year of incredible training out of a little grass strip in my instructor’s
When I became a musician, I did not realize how emotionally invested I would be in the craft and want to pursue a career in the music industry. It still amazes me how even after nineteen years I still have so much more music techniques, theory, etc. to learn down the road. Being a musician has really brought the need for motivation when it has come to singing solo and in ensembles. Ever since I was a little girl around the age of five music interested me because my whole family could sing and we
Introduction Music has undeniably evolved through the centuries. It is an art form whose unknown origins later become the source of human entertainment and pleasure. We, the people, depend on music as it is a daily need, through which we express our spirits and inner feelings. According to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, music is the ‘universal language’ of mankind. It is a means of communication for people to uncover their emotions, thoughts, and ideas. A complex language that differs in each culture
listened to and I sought immediate gratification. I strummed along to YouTube videos, used some of the knowledge from my five years of classical piano lessons, and began building up a repertoire tucked inside of a binder which became a symbol of my musical development. I began to get frustrated because all I wanted to do was to perform, yet I did not know how or where. I was inexperienced booking gigs, and I did not have a band behind me or any kind of agent to locate work. I emailed local coffee shops
I first started playing the viola in fifth grade at Dana Junior Middle School when I signed up for it as my elective after I had become very interested in learning to play it. This was because I had seen my older brother of two years, Alex Schedel, playing the stand up double bass when he attended Dana. He had told me about how much fun he was having learning to play it and how great Mr. Flores was as a teacher. He suggested I play the viola as my instrument because the violin was to unoriginal and
but the significant difference in this movement is the loud, sudden, dramatic cadence at the end. The third movement, Rondeaux: Allegretto opened with the clarinet. This movement felt more complex musically to me, using a wide variety of different musical techniques to keep attention. There were lots of seemingly random piano solo sections, each fairly short, and a surplus of trills. Filled with consonant sounds, conjunct intervals, and the use of whole scales, the piece took on a flirty yet somewhat
