Music Performance Autobiography
My music performance career made a debut when I was very young. The church was my first audience when I began to fall in love with the stage. I always took pride in singing in Christmas and Easter programs, and I eventually went on to sing solos. Until middle school, church was my sole outlet for music performance. However, in middle school, I decided to join choir and band. My life suddenly became filled with concerts, honor bands, and other performances. I consider these the moments that I really began to learn what performance was all about. Music has helped me learn many important life lessons that make me the person I am today. Music performance has been one of the most impactful parts of my life because it has taught me confidence, artistry, and dedication. Confidence is the main factor that separates how I was as a child and my current situation. As a child I used to be quiet and shy, but now I carry myself with much more confidence. I believe I owe my confidence to performing in front of people. Through the years, I made a decision to incorporate music performance into my daily life. I began to play in praise band at church, sing in the choir, and attend as many band events as possible. By gaining leadership in these areas, I have learned how to confidently lead others and convey my meaning when speaking. Putting …show more content…
Along the process of maturing as a musician, I have learned that music is not truly about expertly playing rhythms, having perfect pitch, or even playing the right notes, but it is about conveying a certain emotion to each person in the audience. Any performance could deeply impact someone, so I hope to encourage and motivate people through my music. Each practice adds to how clearly I can convey this to the audience. This also means that I must put one-hundred percent of my effort into every performance. I believe that this artistry is very important to my music

    In college, I began studying music education, but have debating on switching so I can become a music producer since the performing aspect won’t work out. In any case, going to any kind of concert or any other musical performance always makes me happy, makes me learn something new and it inspires me. Maybe one day my stage fright will go away or maybe not. Either way, I’ll always have music to help me get through difficult times. Especially at work, when customers decide to make your day unbelievably impossible and you try to stay calm…

    I had joined my church youth choir and loved every moment of it. Then, once middle school came I decided I wanted to continue my music education by joining the band playing the trombone. The next year I decided to try out for the middle school field hockey team and made it. I continued with band and field hockey until my freshman year of high school when I had the intentions of quitting field hockey in order to pursue marching band because no one had ever done both before. I soon came to my senses and decided that not only was I going to continue with both band and field hockey, but I was also going to be the first person to successfully do that. On top of this, I decided I would audition for the school musical and jazz ensemble which would also overlap with the end of the marching band and field hockey seasons. Through much communication with my coaches and band directors, and musical directors I was able to accomplish this for all four years of my high school career and I wouldn't have had it any other…

    This year at PXHS there was a great musical called the Music Man. The musical was truly serious and hilarious. There were many phrases and jokes being said that I did not understand, but the adults did. I saw that the people who played the characters practiced hard on the dancing, singing and acting. They had to memorize many lines, especially Harold Hill and Marian Paroo. The musical took place in River City. It was a story about a librarian/piano teacher and a traveling salesman. At first, they did not really like each other, but in some way, they fell in love. The musical was very fascinating, beautiful, and humorous.…

    “For God did not give us the Spirit of fear, but the Spirit of a power, love, and a sound mind”- 2 Timothy 1:7. The Key to confidence is stepping out on faith. I actually gained my confidence by leading my first song in church. Of course I started crying because I was nervous, but then I stopped and I knew that God was with me. There are certain situations when I still get nervous, like playing my first basketball game of the season or even when I’m taking a test, but I’ve learned that if I’ve done everything in my power to succeed, then God will take care of the rest.…

    A time I wish I had spoke up as a leader was a couple of months ago when a past concert band member wanted to be apart of marching band. This individual had not attended band camp, which is a requirement if you want to be in marching band. The individual had family issues which prevented him from attending. Once school started he went to the first football with us and played the show music during class. I thought there would be an exception due to his circumstances of not being able to attend. Later I found out that leadership and our band director would decide whether or not he would be included in our show. His drill spot had been written, now it was just if he was committed and be able to. I thought he deserved a chance, so I wanted to help him. I figured our band director would too. But at the same time, our…

    My love for music began in middle school. At that time, I was socially awkward with very few friends. To compensate, I buried myself in music. My dedication led to many honors and admiration from my peers. However, when I got to high school, my relationship with music fundamentally changed. The arrival of an overly demanding teacher coupled with a long episode of depression robbed me of my passion to play. As time progressed, the pain I felt became too much to bear, and I became desperate for an outlet in which I could express myself positively. My quest led me to music once more, but classical was no longer the genre of choice. It was in hip hop and rap music that I found the will to overcome mental illness.…

    Since the day I remember I have always loved to sing. Everything that dealt with singing I enjoyed. In school I loved chorus and has been my favorite class I have taken. Learning new music and how to read and write it made me feel like it was possible to write my own song. In my middle school, there was a honors chorus class called the “Small Ensemble” The Small Ensemble was a small and privileged class, they got the opportunity to go participate in school plays, Christmas parades, Christmas caroling, and competitions such as, All-County and All-State. To be considered into this honors class, students had to audition for a seat in the class. When I heard there were going to be auditions I was completely excited and so determined to audition.…

    It has served as the basis of multiple friendships and provides me with something to do in my free time. Some of the music I listen to, such as the band Twenty One Pilots, has even helped me get through dark times in my life. The lyrics of many of the artists I listen to are quite impactful, and have even changed how I view essential concepts such as life. Through playing music, I have met many of my closest friends, and it has given me a different perspective on music as a whole. It has also introduced me to songs and composers that I would’ve never heard of without lessons or playing in ensembles. Music has changed my life for the positive immensely, and is a big part of who I am as a…

    I can't recall any other Met season that for me was filled with so many highs and lows, but that is how life usually works. Although, I'm not happy that management let Part go and the way in which they handled it, they also took several chances on soloists and corps dancers giving us some exciting and astonishing debuts (I hit a personal record of the number of performances I attended, with two tickets bought in a matter of minutes once the casting changed!). Maybe they didn't have a choice with some of the last minute substitutions, but there were many planned well in advance so for that I'm grateful. I'm over the moon with all four of the promotions that were hard earned and so deserved and I extend my congratulations to all of them again.…
