Band is my 8th period class. I am in beginning band. Band is another one of my electives. I chose band as an elective because I would like to learn to play an instrument, the instrument i would like to play is the clarinet.
In band the instrument I have been learning to play is the clarinet. The basic things we have been learning are music notes, and learning how to play correctly. Some of the songs that we have been learning are hot cross buns, mary, duke of windsor, french folk song, coasting, and cowboy chorus. All the notes, and songs were very easy to learn. I really enjoy playing the clarinet. I have learned how to play the instrument the right way, how to hold it, and how to breathe into it.
The second quarter in band we have been practicing 3 different songs. All of these three songs are basically just Christmas songs. The songs we have been practicing are the ones we will be playing at our concert before winter break.The concert that we will be having will hopefully be lots of fun. I just hope that I do good in this concert and not play any wrong notes because I don't wanna get embarrassed at all in front of a lot of people. I chose to talk about this because I think it will be fun.
This third quarter in band we have been practicing how to play one song which is called Coldwater Creek. This song was kind of easy for me to learn but also had some different notes that I hadn't seen before so it was kind of hard to learn them but then I looked at my notes I had and figured out what note it was. This piece of music is one of the songs that we will have to perform at our next concert which is in fourth quarter also our final performance. I enjoy practicing this piece of music because the beat is kind of catchy to me and it's a good music piece.
This final semester in band we had our final concert of the year. In this concert we performed four songs. These songs were very easy to learn and fun and easy to perform at the concert we had. I wasn't really nervous in this concert as much as I was at the first one we had at the beginning of the year because I've already done it basically two times. I really made sure to play the correct notes knowing most already because I din't want ti get embarrassed in front of so many people. I enjoyed this final concert because it was the last one we had and because it was really nice.
