Music

Some of the best music can be found just by randomly browsing on You tube. Some of the music that I enjoy include: Jesse McCartney, Taylor Swift, Fallout Boy, Cute is What we Aim For, Backseat Goodbye, Number One Gun, Rihanna, Christian music, and so many more. I am not a really big fan of rap because listening to that can sometimes give me a headache. Rap music is also very repetitive in its lyrics and tends to repeat its chorus over and over again. A lot of the genres that are very popular today include: country, rap, rock, disco, soft rock, electronica, hip hop, blues, tribal, heavy metal, and many more. Music is almost like a drug for me. When I am down or having a bad day, I just listen to music and it seems to take a lot of my cares away. A lot of people don't know this about me, but I used to play the harp. Everyone thought it was really unique and it really set me apart from everyone else. The reason I quit playing was because I couldn't commit to the time commitment and I was already doing show choir and choir for music classes. I did enjoy it while I did play it, though. Before I played harp, however, I was required to take two years of piano, so I started playing harp at about 6th grade. My point by telling this was to try to tell you about how much time and effort it takes to be successful. You can’t just wake up one morning and decide that your going to play an instrument, you have to have knowledge about it and have practice. Another thing that kind of held me back from continuing harp lessons was the cost. It takes a lot of money to get involved with music whether its money to buy the instrument, lessons, or equipment for it. Although it costs a lot, being involved with the orchestra was very helpful when considering my social status and grades. It was an easy class, I’m not going to lie. I also made a lot of friends and got to know a lot of upperclassmen that I didn’t know before. In order to be successful at an instrument, you have to be able to perform as well as be good at it. If you don’t convince the audience, they won’t enjoy themselves.
