Of Orchestra and Aerosmith
Ami finds that music groups can be much more than just boring rehearsals…
BY AMI GODOY
Teamwork, focus, practice, communication, discipline. These are words people
often relate to sports. But these qualities are also essential for many
musicians, especially in high school music programs. And just like in a sport,
participants find other benefits as well, things like satisfaction,
self-respect, respect for others, friendship and of course, fun.
I was fortunate enough to be one of those high school musicians over the past
four years. I play the violin, and quickly got involved in the orchestra program
at my high school. Before I joined, I expected an hour-long period in my school
day when a bunch of people would rehearse music for a while and then pack up
their instruments and go to the next class.
