A lot of the songs had a fast rhythm but there were a few slow ones such as Lover’s leap, especially during the steel drum solo that made me feel peaceful and like I could float off into dreams. I noticed a lot of Call and Response between the horns section in several of the songs such as Zona Mona and Hall of
I always loved and had a fascination for the trumpets, even though I cannot play; I always found it the best. I really enjoy Ska music, which is a band of people with all types of instruments including the trumpet. I kept my eyes on them most of the time, and I really enjoyed when they were the loudest out of all the instruments because they outshined the other ones. The only instrument that I’ve had experience with is the piano. I’ve played that for about 6-7 years and quit when I was around the age of 16, so whenever I would hear the piano I tried to understand what notes they would play.
The choir put a spin on the way I ever looked at lyrics but the melody that they created was both high and low, they just stayed in harmony even when they weren't all singing at one and it was guys vs girls. As for the band I would say that the range that they covered as well correlated just right with the choir as they had
They perform the music from memory then listen to the recordings and note the music down this is called transcription. Balafon - like a xylophone it has wooden bars tuned to different pitches and gourds hanging down to make it sounds more resonant Djembe - a goblet shaped drum played with the hands Talking drum - played with a hooked stick used to imitate speech with different pitches and slides. It is in Gb major. Most of it is hexatonic meaning it uses a set of six notes in the scale not including F The balafon plays short patterns usually fall from high to low, emphasising Gb and Db the tonic and
* | Lesson 5: When The Saints Go Marching In in C, F, & G"When The Saints Go Marching In" is another simple tune which makes a good note-learning exercise on the piano, also helping you develop your familiarity with the finger numbers. Learn and memorize it in C, F, and G, hands separately and hands together. By learning it in different keys and playing both hands, you are developing some of the most basic piano, fingering, and keyboard awareness skills. Instructions for learning a piece on the piano:-play each line with right hand (fingerings written above note names) until it is easy and/or memorized. -play each line with left hand (fingerings written below note names) until it is easy and/or memorized.-play each line with both hands until it is easy and/or memorized.-string the lines together until you can play the whole piece.
Introductions partis played with piano and then with xylophone. It starts off with four bar just about right rhythm. The first part, which is chorus with 32-bar form (A1 and A2), starts off slowly with the entire band without making the song boring. Right after the band plays the first chorus and interlude. I like the xylophone part because it felt like it was one part of the song.
From the beginning of the piece, as the trumpeter makes his entrance, he plays long, drawn-out notes and employs minimal use of vibrato. Gaffney elegantly elongates his phrasing in order to create a soothing atmosphere as the music avoids overt flashiness and distraction, instead relying on its simplicity and steadiness to allow the listener to sink into deep contemplation. Powerful, but not overbearing, the piano accompaniment plays with a multitude of thick chords, providing rich harmonies for the melodic line. According to Bonds, the music’s character may change dramatically as a result of these harmonies (7). Demonstrating this, the piece manages to achieve a thick texture despite only utilizing two instruments due to the combination of the piano’s heavy chords and the trumpet’s warmness and consistency of sound.
Some beats of the bar are more accented or played differently and it leaps up at the end of the bar in some phrases, but the tempo stays mainly the same with a few exceptions. The volume of the music changes quite often, such as when the wolf (3 horns) or hunters (kettle drums) come out they are always mezzo forte or forte. But the cat is low, sly and andantino while the bird is high pitched, allegro and mostly dolce. Peters music is allegretto and
Through belly dancing, I realized that I can relax in a great way. It helps get in touch with your body. Just being in a quiet area, trying to hear the rhythm of the music and get over all the stress you have kept inside. It’s a great technique that is very easy and relaxing to everyone who does it. Whenever I’m really stressed and just want to scream, I play basketball.
He shows that tapping can be done to any beat you feel; in any kind of way you feel it. Tap dancing is a lot like jazz music in this way, because there is no one correct way to play jazz music. Like jazz, tap comes in so many styles that there is no one specific way of doing either that would be considered the correct way of doing it. Last but not least I learned that tap dancing should be fun. Whenever the characters were dancing, they were having fun, and that is what tap truly seems to show, is that it should always be
