Keyboard Orchestra Overview



The Keyboard Orchestra class was a great experience for me. I had a lot of fun and was able to practice chords. What more can I ask from a class where you are just given some work, but for most of the time you get to play the Keyboard and Piano. Sure there were times where we just did our own thing on the keyboard for the rest of class, but we got things done. We read a book also called, How Music Works. It taught me many things about the Science of Music that I never knew. I even learned some stuff I thought were impossible.


For the most part, the class wasn't too challenging. I was already somewhat trained in the piano before(but I stopped, I mostly play the Trumpet now). What I'm really happy about is the fact that I got to learn more about chords. The learning of the chords was pretty much the highlight for me. By just learning a few chord patterns, you can instantly play hundreds if not thousands of songs. Songs we are going to perform for the school was not hard. They were interesting though. It was always fun for me whenever we would alas as a class play all the parts and play as an orchestra. With the new skills I learned, I hope I can buy me a keyboard and hopefully play for the convocation of St. Benedict’s and just enjoy myself with the music i can make play and get better.
