Band Essay What music means to me is life itself. I never go a day without thinking how music helped shape my life as well as i never go one day without listening to one type of music. Music should be in everyone's life because it helps us understand other people as well as ourselves. Some people take music further into playing an instrument like me or becoming a singer. These are six words that describe me as an musician. One word that describes me is __Happy__ because no matter what happens or what kind of situation we are in, i try to look to the positive side and i always try to put a smile on my face to give other people hope. I love playing with my section and my friends as we try to have fun while doing what we need to have done. Another Word that describes me is __Shy__ because most of the time if i don't someone i won't talk to them and will easily keep to myself. Even if i am in a group and I don't know any of them, I won't talk and just work. I will also tend to stay close to my friends and i'm never alone because I don't really like to be by myself and because I will sometimes be afraid of people. Anothe word is __Determined__ becasue no matter what I have to do, I'll usually do it no matter what the price. Espicially if it's a band or drama assignment or if it needs to be done for a grade. I may not get a 100% in whatever i'm trying to do, but if i mess up, you can bet on it that i'll practice harder and harder until i get it right. Another that people have probably noticed is that i'm __Insincere__. I hate having to play by myself and I always say that i am the worst player out of the whole band, so I tend to not play so loud incase I would mess up, and people would make fun of me. I easily get freaked out by solos or those band days when it's just me. Another word that describes me is __Nervous__ because when parades or concerts come up, I hate when I am put on the end or am in the very front becasue I'll get so embarrassed that i'll automatically stop playing or that i'll get so quiet that no one will hear me play. I also hate when we are in sectionals and we have to play one part of the music one at a time becasue i'll mess up and we will stay there until i get it right, which might take a pretty long time. The last word that describes me is __Proud__ because i am proud of myself to keep playing the trumpet all those years ever since 5th grade. I am proud to have made it past the junior high to gotten to the senior high and to have learned everything that people taught me. I'll be even prouder when i get past the senior high and to have never gave up the path of a musician.
