Youth stuck on video games

In today society, statistic proves that children and teens spend too much time on the computer games. For example, in Singapore, middle and high school students spend 27 hour per week on the computer games. The total number of the time that Singaporean students spend on the computer games is very high compare to the class hours of the students in National University of Singapore, which is 20 hours per week in the class room. The study proves that a person who has the “gaming habits” might cost “pathological gaming”, which means the person who play game too much until it affect his/her life. The family and school are demanding to solve this solution. There are many possibilities that could influence the teenagers to have gaming habits but the family and the school are the first persons that we should blame. Family and school should educate the teenagers and children about badness of the computer games and encourage them to try the outdoor activities. It would be better if teenagers and children play computer games and know when to say enough and come back to the reality.

Classical music the touchable sound

For an instrumentalist, generally, the easiest music genre they can approach to is classical music. If somebody would like to pick up an instrument such as piano, flute, violin, viola or cello, they probably learn the classical music at first; furthermore, these instruments were created and developed for classical music at the beginning.

Classical music is easy to learn and endlessly learning.

Classical music is the music genre I would like to introduce everyone to try to lesson. It is the music that everyone can approach to.

What music means to me

Music is a part of my life. It became my passion since I started to learn it. It is my affection or perhaps my addiction because I cannot life without music; I always listen to, or play music or sing. Even without my instrument, a music score or an MP3 player in my hands, I am still thinking or practicing musicality in my mind such as clapping my hands and legs or singing the melodies that pop up in my head.

Music is also my pride. Normally, people can play some easy pieces on their instrument but they did not have a chance to perform for the public. As a music student I have to study difficult pieces and also have opportunities to perform in concerts. I am always very pleased when I played something on my flute and somebody listened to it and made some comment for me; it really made me feel more valuable and made me feel I was improving myself as a musician.

I rather surprise myself; at the very beginning, I never thought I could learn something abstract such as music. I wanted to study law when I was 15 years old, after I practicing the flute, I suddenly changed my mind. Now I come a cross the sea and pursuing the Bachelor degree in flute major performance. I love in what I do and happy to keep leaning it.

Honestly, I did this blog because my English teacher told me to do it. I never once thinking about writing any topic on the internet site but now I did it. Even thought I do not think my English is improving at all! but when I looking through my old posted I have to admit that my English is improving. language needs time and patience. Finally I have to say "this blog is quit useful and convenience for English academic class".

Flute in woodwind family

Hi! I am here to introduce you to the woodwind family! Is there anybody who can tell me what “woodwind” means? Yes, basically woodwind is just 2 words that are combined together. Wood means wood and Wind means Air. This term stands for the process of making a sound from these instruments. In ancient times, they made holes in the wooden tube and blew it to create sound. After that musicians developed it in to many kinds of woodwind instruments and it takes so much time and effort to make these kinds of instruments nowadays. But for the flute, it’s different. Do u know what it is made of at the beginning? It was made of a bone from animal bones and the they change it to wood and then the man named Theobald Boehm made a flute from the alloy.

The core value of the composition

When the composer completes his composition, he feels the need to present his work to the public. The audience is free to respond in a positive or negative manner to the presentation of the work, but this does not necessarily define them as judge.
The audience does not have the right to determine the quality of the work, although they have the right to form opinions on the performance. The result of whether the work is successful or not, depends on the audiences’ choice.
The composer cannot control the judgement made by the audiences. Although the composer cannot predict the audiences opinion, however performer has the potential to do so.
Thus, the role of the performer is crucial. Te performer must understand the inner working of the work in order to create a convincing performance and clearly communicate the core values of the work in a way which the audience can understand. Therefore, the audiences’ opinion of the work is entirely dependent on the performance of the new piece. The responder’s acceptance of the work cannot be guaranteed.
It is important that the wider public is exposed to the importance of music education. With this knowledge they will be able to understand the new conventions of the work. Then the listener can fully understand and associate with the composer. However most listeners enjoy music from the surface.
