The Keyboard Orchestra class has taught me numerous things ever since the first day. It has challenged and allowed me to view music from a different perspective. A primary skill that it has taught me is how to read music. Before taking the class, I was able to read notes but it would take me years just to decipher whether a note is a E or a G. After the first week of the course, I noticed a great improvement in my reading skills. Today, it takes me less than 3 seconds to figure out what note something is, it is almost instant.
This class was also very interesting because it enabled me to see music from a different point of view. In total, we attended 2 live performances. These performances were held by professional musicians and instruments. One group played classical music while the other played traditional Jazz music. I personally enjoyed the Jazz music a lot more because it was much more moving. This course has opened me up to something else I might want to pursue in life. Presently, I am thinking of investing in a piano for myself so that I can use what I learned in class to practice at home.
