On Monday we got to meet the one and only Maestro Tovey he’s 62 and still a famous world wide composer, and a conductor. He is a funny man we got to see him play a the piano in memory and still blew my mind. Also there was a girls birthday so he made a song from scratch in less then a minute with the keys of the letter’s in her name. Listening to & watching Maestro Tovey reminded me of music how funny, scary, serious, jazzy, and exciting it can be. And right now I also feel like playing music because Maestro Tovey showed us that it doesn’t matter who you are anyone can play music. Even if your deaf or anything else there was this man he was deaf and could never hear his music. He become deaf  by drinking his coffee every morning with a led cup and soon he become deaf. And still has amazing music. his name is Ludwig van Beethoven.

When I’m feeling sad, mad, happy, or frustration I listen to music because most of the time did you notice when some one is sad they put slow music on. It’s a way of communicating with out talking. What I really think of when put the music on it let’d me relax. It drags me into the music. I feel like I’m having a conversation with the song. Then I’ll feel better sooner or later I’m back to normal.

Music connects me to other people.  When some one is playing a song and there song is about there life steps going one by one. The song is called 7 years and each time hes getting olderso he starts of with him 7 years old and his mom is saying go get your self some friends or you’ll be lonely. It just reminds me of my life and how I’ll get older and my friends will be leaving and i’ll be alone. So I feel like I’m connected to his words, it’s reminding me about myself to I’m gonna get older and i’m gonna die soon. So what it really means to me that it’s a way of connecting and show feeling to each other. The music gives out idea’s, communtication, and feelings aren’t those important acitions in life?

bye.

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. And perform and the fact that he conducted an orchestra when he was 15 which was amazing cause such a big job making sure everybody was on time and making sure everybody knew there notes for such a young person.
