Maestro Bramal Tovey visited our school Monday and I’m doing a reflection.Something that got exited when Maestro Tovey was here was when he first played the piano. I was awestruck at how good he played the piano and he did it without having any notes in front of him(an accomplishment witch takes years of practice and skill). I might be interested in taking up piano lessons and more types of interments.

I was also surprised that when he said ” I need a volunteer ” and he choose someone who’s birthday it was witch is kind of reasonable as a birthday present for somebody. I really liked the guess what this piece of music is called. And I really liked what it was called. It was called why a really odd name for a piece of music it lasted 90 seconds in total.

Maestro tovey reflection

What maestro tovey taught me was that if you want something bad enough you will get it you just need to work hard enough. But the thing that amazed me is that he played Beethoven’s music from memory apparently that is very difficult but get this he is 62 people that are old usually have bad memory but has been playing piano since he was 7 and right now he is 62 so he has been playing piano for 55 years which is longer than some peoples carriers he had a lot of talent for someone his age. And making music on the top of his head (when he was playing music for miliya) but he also had a sense of humor and he has two daughters I think and a wife he is retiring soon so it has been really nice for him to come to our school.

Maestro Tovey is an amazing british conductor! He came to our school and performed to us ( he even made up a song on the spot). He has won awards and traveled a lot of places to perform. It was a great honour to have him visit us!

Listening and watching Maestro Tovey reminded me how beautiful piano music is, and also that even though Beethoven lost his hearing, he still managed to compose great music (music that we probably couldn’t compose even with hearing).

I found it really cool how the Maestro could play the piano so fast! He made me think that music is sometimes hypnotic  because when I listened to the music, it made me feel hypnotized… weird.

I think that different kinds of music make me feel different things. For example, if you listen to loud, fast music, it might make you feel more energetic But if you listen to slow, relaxing music, it might make you calmer. I think this because at different points of a song that was played, it was fast, which made me feel tenser, but when the music slowed down, it made me calmer.

Music is amazing! It is so cool how music can effect (most of) us even though it isn’t a living thing. Just like computers and phones can effect our living and how we think, even though it doesn’t have a brain and emotions. (Or does it?)
