.... would want to hear music from one or two hundred years ago? In addition, the music from that time was long and mainly instrumental. Some pieces would be fifteen to forty-five minutes long! Today, songs are mostly three to four minutes. They are short and to the point. In many aspects, this “classical music” would take some time to get used to. My Music Appreciation class gave me knowledge I needed to understand music that I was not already familiar with. The first couple of weeks in the class, we learned the basic elements of not just “classical” music, but all music in general. The next couple of weeks later we listened to music so could utilize the terms we ....

.... and not appropriate for me, that was parental censorship. When I was old enough to go out with my friends I became confused when my parents said I could see an "PG-13" rated movie but the theater wouldn't let me in. When I argued that "my parents said I could go see it!!", the theater management always said things like I need to be 13 or must be accompanied by a parent and so on. I then proposed this question, my parents said I could see it, now why can't I see it? The answer to that question is the government doesn't think I am old enough. My mom said live with it, there is nothing you can do. I think that made me more inquisitive. That was just the beginning, I was too ....

.... consumers of music, decide to take our interest to the next hit song. It's not all our fault. You have to put at least some blame on the bands themselves. They feel that it is part of their job to indulge our wants.  We as lovers of what these songwriters do are appalled and disgusted by hearing anything but the best from our favorite bands.  Once we have what we want it's not long before we want more.  This is because we consume the musicians' talents like a fast food happy meal.  We open the box, take out the toy, throw away the contents, and then bitch about being hungry.  When we do this we always say, "It's a cool song, but they are a one hit wonder."  We the hu ....

.... a medical discharge. After his army career came to an abrupt end, he decided to go into the music field. By this time he had become an accomplished guitarist, and was soon to become known as the greatest guitarist ever. Unfortunately, on September 18, 1970 he was found dead in his room from a drug overdose. He was only twenty seven years old. His music has not been forgotten, as it is still popular today. If his addiction had not overcome him, he could still be revolutionizing the style of rock today On November 27, 1942, Jimi Hendrix was born as John Allen Hendrix in Washington at Seattle General Hospital. His childhood was not a privileged one, however, he did indulge ....

.... as a professor. He still works their today. Greg was often picked on in high school because of his "Punkness". "There were three people at my high school who were punkers, I mean I got beat up everyday by long haired people who listened to Rush and would beat me up because I didn't. When he was fifteen he started a band with other social outcasts who didn't quite fit in. They settled on the name BAD RELIGION. Bad Religion does not pertain to any kind of sacrilegious activities or the like. Instead it is a statement against any establishment that promotes dogmatic thinking or punishes individualism and rewards followers. Greg once said in an interview "Instead of rewar ....

.... that I have found. Woodwind instruments and specifically are just that. An instrument that relies solely on the exhaled breathe for the function. In this particular part of my paper I will be discussing woodwind exclusively. The woodwind flute can be traced back to many era’s in our history and for the most part it’s design has been constant. There are three major things that affect the sound of . The first is construction type. A basic element common to all wind instruments is that of an empty space encompassed by a long or round object which can be held in the hand (Meylan, p. 13). The sound produced is a result of the resonance in the cavity by the motion ....
