if you could be incredibly talented at one instrument, which would you choose and why?
i play the guitar, piano, and ukulele but i am only average at each. i would love to be good at the cello.
are we counting singing count as an instrument? if we are, i'd choose that all the way. you can get a job much easier as an expert singer than a guitar player. likewise, there are physical limitations, like octave ranges, that limit a person as a singer. on the other hand, guitarists/drummers/etc. all have a pretty even playing field. given the vocals are generally at the center melodic line of any western music, being a fantastic singer gives you a lot of room to work with.if we're not counting vocals as an instrument, i'd say drums. i'd want to stick to something in rock/metal, since that's what i like to listen to/write. there are lots of already master-level guitarists out there. for drums, there are a lot of great drummers, but there aren't as many master-level ones i'd argue. you can get a gig in most places if you're a drummer with gear and chops. i think guitar is something that starts off hard and then gets easier as opposed to drums, which starts off easy, and then gets wickedly hard with the top-tier stuff. thus, if i had some magical cheat ability to be a beast at one instrument, it's better to pick drums-- it's more effective long term.
in 19th and 20th century, the typical orchestra musical instruments were restricted to a group of 4 musical instruments which are: the brass, wood, string and percussion instruments but as time passed, other musical instruments have been columbia and yale are really hard to get into. nyu is difficult too, but not quite as expensive and more realistic (not saying you cant get into the others, you definitely could, but nyu is just as good in my opinion). and your gpa is great, mine was only an 86 and i got into the university of rochester (didn't go due to costs), so a 90 could definitely get you into even better schools. i also didn't have a job, didn't do any sports, nor did i participate in any clubs or orgainizations (funny thing is, i'm doing all of that now that i'm in college). you'll do fine, just as long as you make the most out of the rest of this year and especially next year. take a lot of ap's, seriously, they're probably the reason why i'm not going to a community college. get a summer job. you're already in a sport, so you're good for extracurriculars. also, take the act. it's more practical and, in my opinion, easier. i got a 1370 on the sat but a 32 on the act, which is the equivalent of a 1440. colleges don't even care which one you take now anyway, and you could always take it again (i did for the sat, raised my score 150 points the 2nd time). gpa isn't as important as everyone makes it out to be, but you should still keep it as high as you can. nitendo = family console

Any attempts to attribute some higher virtue to the arts by the same people who lambast video games is desperate flailing. I'd certainly agree the majority of video games are low art however. please music 302 music in world culture week 2 lecture notes what is music? -depends on personal perspective, taste, and aesthetic -perception of what music is can also depend on culture aesthetic -what is beautiful/pleasing; one's sense of beauty -perception through the senses taste -discerning what is appropriate -often based on culture, society, personal liking or disliking criticism -analysis and evaluation analysis -separation of a whole into its components evaluation -assigning value based on merits and faults * taste and criticism depend on one's aesthetic elements of music pitch -scientific definition: the frequency of vibrations per second more frequent- higher pitch less frequent- lower pitch -musical definition: the location of sound in the tonal range proceeding f i can't think of any machine, i just had to deal with that use a larger sparkle knife to scrape it up
