On Monday my school got to meet Maestro Bramwell Tovey. For those of you who do not know him, Bramwell Tovey is a composer and conductor. He works for the VSO and is known worldwide. He has won a Grammy award and a Juno Award.
Maestro Tovey did some things that are really interesting in my opinion. First of all, I think he is a really funny person. The “why?” song was really funny. How he made a song out of Milya’s name was also really cool (he also included a Happy Birthday). He also made me think about being a conductor. I think it would be really cool to conduct almost everything in front of you. You’d be in charge of everything.
Maestro Tovey is definitely not young right now. But, he still remembers his music from thought! That is really cool. He started playing piano when he was very young. I think that means that Music will stay with you. Other thoughts may fade as you get older but music won’t. That, is very interesting.
Most of all, Maestro Tovey made me think more about Music. He made music express feelings, which is really interesting. Music can be happy, sad, tense, or all of that together. I think music is different to me than what it was a couple days ago.
I am glad that the maestro’s visit provoked so much thought and maybe even opened more about the world of music to you. Thank you for providing some background for your readers who might not be familiar with Maestro Tovey and for writing about not only his visit but also about its impact.
I love the way you write! I’m glad Maestro Tovey got you thinking more about music because it’s a beautiful thing.
