MUSIC
Before I joined band in my school life, I had the opportunity to try several different instruments, including piano, guitar, and ukulele. None of these instruments really resonated within me, and I found that I had a hard time learning all of them. Elementary school band was my first time using an instrument in the band, and I chose alto saxophone. While I did practice occasionally and was decent at playing, I didn’t have much passion, and was only in band because I didn’t want to be in the fine arts course. It was in high school when I first started playing the French horn, and while it was very difficult at first, I soon came to love the instrument when I figured out how to play it well and how to make a beautiful sound. I also joined choir when I entered high school and continue to enjoy it a lot, but don’t have nearly as much passion in it as I do with band. In Jazz band I play tenor saxophone, and I enjoy it, but not nearly as much as the last two. All in all, there is so much I love about music, and it has become my favourite class in high school.
Below are some audio samples of our band playing a couple of songs.
Enjoy!
