My three goals in Music....

My first goal is to become better at tounging faster rythms on both saxophones that I play. I believe I can achieve this goal by practicing more with music involving faster more advanced rythms. Once I accomplish this I will be able to play most types of music.My second goal is to be able to play "Schindlers List" with no mistakes at all. I just need to practice more at home and at band to accomplish this. My third and final goal is to be able to play most of the scales by memory. I can accomplish this goal by practicing these scales to where I know them by concert pitch and starting pitch.

Overall these are good goals, but you need to select another goal for #2. Since marching band is just about over, you should look to do something that will apply to all of your music!!

Great essay!

How Music Has Changed My Life....

Music has changed my life in several different ways. It has opened oppourtunities and things that have shaped me as a person. Band has also given me friends that I will always remember. Music has made me who I am and who I want to be. Music has opened opportunities that others may never recieve. The ability to play an instrument, ways into colleges and possible jobs/careers. I have always been interested in music. I loved listening to music since I was little and always have. I was determined to play an instrument when the opportunity opened in 5th grade. I joined saxophone and have stuck with it ever since. Music has given me friends that I will always remember. Without music in my life I would not have the frineds that I currently do. One example is Brandon Sponslor. If I had not joined band in the first place, I would not have become best friends with him. In general, I will always remember my section and the people in the band. Band and music have made me outgoing and social. Music has made me a person I want to be. Because of band and music, I am now more creative than I was before I started. Without music I probably would not be as outgoing and social either. I can express myself and do what I want to fufil my dreams because of the values music has given me. Music has changed my life more than I ever could have imagined it would.
