We got the chance to see a performance by Maestro Bramwell Tovey on May, 30, 2016. He started off with a really complicated piece (at least for me) on the piano, then he went to explain himself. Maestro Tovey is a music conductor and composer, born in United Kingdom, July 11, 1953 (age 63). He is really good at Piano and he has a very funny accent (no offense :P). The music he played was very cool, and though I do not like classical music that much, I kind of grew to like it because of his playing. He did a great job and I think he is a very talented person because if I were to learn at least one song he played that day, then my brain would be dead! Maestro Tovey is a very awesome person to be honest. He seems really fun, and if someone were to have him as their music teacher, I bet they’d learn really fast!

It’s pretty cool that we got to meet Maestro Bramwell Tovey because now the whole school has a better perspective on classical music and especially music by Beethoven. Tovey told us about Beethoven and played many famous pieces that Beethoven made. The music was very soothing and calming in a way, maybe something I could listen to to go to bed!

Listening to Maestro Tovey was a excellent visit. To be honest, it was very awesome!

It made me realize about the importance of music. It made wonder about…

  • How music affects education
  • How the person could make the wonderful piece despite being deaf
  • How your life changes after hearing music
  • How music can change your mood
  • How music can change your thoughts
  • How music can change your feelings
  • How complex is the piano
  • How was the Maestro so good!
  • How music carries feelings and emotions
  • How do musicians make a living
  • The roles of different musicians

And more. I can’t believe Maestro Tovey is such a huge swagger!!!

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 really enjoyed the performance he did, especially when he played happy birthday to miliya. i was surprised of how he still remembered all the notes without looking, i actually never been a really big fan of music but now that i realize it it’s actually not that bad.

Music is fun when you get to watch/play a really cool instrument. now you may be thinking what do i want to play? well i’m not really sure about that yet but the guitar is pretty cool, besides that i actually really liked the performance.

On Monday, we had a performance where we got to see Bramwell Tovey, a famous conductor/composer, who won a Juno award and a grammy, who came to perform for us… gee, I wonder what the odds of that happening are, but anyway, this is my reflection on the performance.

Listening to Bramwell Maestro Tovey reminded me of how important music is in life. Music is a major part of our lives. It is used to express feeling/emotions, it can be used as a form of communication, it can be used for entertainment, and these are just some of the things it can be used as. In fact, music can also help people that have dementia or alzheimers. Music, when used appropriately, can shift moods. You can go from sad to happy listening to just one song. If you use the right type of music, you can calm yourself down. At times, you may want to listen to a sad song just so you can feel that feeling, and it helps. Basically, what I’ve been reminded of is how music is definitely really important, because when your feeling down, then you can listen to some music and cheer up, and when your angry, you can listen to a calm song, and calm down, and sometimes you just feel like being sad, so you can listen to something sad, and it somehow cheers you up, and the final thing is that music is part of our lives no matter what, and it can help in many situations.
