First Rehearsal!

August 25, 2012 at 3:10 AM

Today in school during orchestra (I'm in Symphonic Strings, the second highest group), we had a rehearsal! (That sentence sounds pathetic. Sorry.) It's been quite a while since I've played my violin with a group; mostly I've been practicing on my own over the summer. We have I believe 50+ students in the class, so even though we had only time for separate to bow two notes to bow four notes three octave scales, the sound was incredibly impressive and filled the room with wonderful noise. Monday we will start with some music, and it will be fun.

One more quick thing before I end this post. In my AP Music Theory class (which is apparently a collage level course), we had homework to write an essay on the definition of music. Here's mine: 'Music is nothing more than mere organized sound.' Well, that's a summary of it.

Have any of you heard of John Cage's "4'33?" :) My teacher performed the first movement of it, and we realized how even that piece can be considered music.
