it was a wednesday afternoon around 1pm, i was kinda excited because
i am the kind of person that loves music so much. may it be rock, classical, pop, OPM etc. i listen to them all. though right now i am crrently digging rock music i still also havent lost my heart for classical music.

i grew up with music, my father would always listen to some ballads and jazz music while i was small, on the other hand, my mom's side is a family of pianists so during my childhood music was already a really big part of me.

so unlike some of the students who was required to watch the performance i was pretty excited to view the performance. when i got there i sat up front, not just because there were no more seats available at the back but also because i wanted to see the instruments up close as close as i could get so that i could see how the musician would play the violin or how he would pluck his guitar.

all of the songs that they played was all very familiar to me, but amongst all of them my favorite is beethoven. i listend to their lecture as they showed how bad it was to the ears if one of the instruments were not tuned properly and if some musicians werent playing the same melody and on how it was so important for their instruments sounds to blend together so they would create wonderful music together. watching them also made me realize that teamwork is really important and that even though some of them were good musicians alone, they understood that together they can create something even better.

towards the end of the performance there was an open forum,where in they opened the floor for questions. for a short while no one was asking anything, until i saw my prof. stood up and asked a question that was really interesting. the question was something like, "boom tarat tarat is also repetitive, how is it any different from classical music in terms of repetitiveness?" something like that. one of them answered that the main difference is that boom tarat tarat although repetitive has only one tempo and it would not change, compared to classical music, classical music has various tempo's that would corresspond to the emotion being portrayed, like slowing it all down to portray sadness or speeding things up for happiness. his answer was sound and at first i thought it was something hard to answer.
after the show i walked away with a greater understanding of classical music, though i expected it to be longer. i hope that the succeding shows would be longer featuring more music for everyone to enjoy,and i ca definitely say that all of that was all worth my 80 pesos!
