On October 23, 2016 I went to a concert type of event that different music groups were performing. This event is what Hispanics call a “Jaripeo Baile,” which is a place that people can see other people bull riding like in the rodeo, but this event was only about music groups performing. One of the music groups that performed was a band called “Josecito Leon y Su Internacional Banda Roja.” While I watched the band’s performance it reminded me of how it relates to the themes that were from our readings

What’s the significance of the band’s name, No Name Charlies? “Uhh… well we had, like, 100 names that we had gone through and we didn’t really like. Then Greg, our former trombone player, said that whenever his teacher in elementary school would get an essay without a name on it, she’d call it a ‘no name Charlie.’ We all kind of liked it; it’s definitely grown on us since then.” He told me the band came together in November

The United States currently has numerous genres of instrumental music, but perhaps the least recognized of these is the brass band. Through better understanding its origin, how it was received in American society, and what other band genres existed and emerged during its development, we can begin to understand the brass band’s lack of recognition in the States. After providing background on the genre of the brass band, its function in society, past and present societal beliefs on music, and the
with the help of a slide, or with the use of finger holes. A brass instrument that relies on the players lips alone to determine the musical pitch makes it almost impossible to play all the notes of the scale. Brass instruments such as the modern trombone, which uses a slide, can produce the entire scale but must have the same diameter tubing throughout which results in a bright tone color. The Serpent plays all the notes of the scale, and it has the mellow tone color resulting from a conical or
“You gotta play this piece like an English military band would,” said Jules during band one day while rehearsing the first movement of Gustav Holst’s Second Suite in F. “1. March” begins with four notes played by the low brass which is then echoed by the upper woodwinds. The trumpets have a noble melody which broadens when the entire ensemble joins in. Next, the piece lightens up with an upper woodwind melody. Later on there is a euphonium solo, and following that is a grand theme with an extremely

In a Youtube video, it’s more like watching the just the trombone person the majority of the time and doesn’t know how the other musicians do with the trombone. In the videos we see everything in one sequence as we don't know how they break in the music. When we see it is all in one stretch, but in live they are taking their own time to get ready for the next

Brass section Edit The brass section is a collective term for the trombone and trumpet sections. Quite often these sections play the same phrases and rhythms, for a powerful, brassy sound. These instruments can also make use of sound-changing mutes, which are widely used in jazz. Trumpets Edit The trumpet section usually comprises four (sometimes five) players, each playing a separate part. The section leader is usually the first (or lead) trumpet, who plays the highest and most strenuous part. When
recorder. That’s where my music career all started. After third grade, I picked up the trombone, a large, brass, slide instrument. I played trombone for the next seven years of my life. Then when I was in my junior year of high school, I switched over to the trumpet. Also I switched to the french horn that same year. Then now I’m back in my senior year of high school, and I went back to playing trombone, but also picked up the mellophone. I joined many groups and clubs along the way, but I
Stan Kenton: Progressive Concepts in Jazz Stanley Newcomb Kenton is one of the most influential figures to be found in all of jazz history, even being called "the most significant figure of the Modern Jazz age" by Frank Sinatra (Agostinelli, 6). Kenton's progressive concepts of how music is written and performed greatly affected the genre of jazz, and created something new and unique.

to WSU. First off being a former brass player I was drawn to watching this section during the performance. I use to play trombone and baritone, I couldn’t see much of the baritone so I mainly watched the 1st trombone.

I was able to teach trombone to Hector. During this lesson, I taught him how to buzz and the first five notes of the Bb concert scale. We went through a few of the section in the Brass Method book. We got this goal accomplish within our lesson. Firstly, I started with helping him learn how to start buzzing. I demonstrated how to buzz without the mouthpiece.

Instruments of the Orchestra Strings: The viola is an important member of the orchestra, but is not often heard by itself. Because it is bigger than the violin, with longer strings, it makes a rich, warm sound that is lower in pitch. In contrast to the viola the violin is the smallest member of the string family. Because its strings are the shortest, it produces the highest sound. The viola is a little heavier, and its shape is slightly different, too. But it is still played on the violist’s left
