“Music will still be a big part of our environment. The Bible talks about choirs of angels and how there is singing in Heaven. We're going to have the greatest choirs, the greatest bands and symphony orchestras, the greatest music that the world has ever known. The world has never even heard music yet compared to what we're going to have there! If humans can make the beautiful music they have learned to make with these hand-made instruments, think what God can do supernaturally!” IfsThinkingWorldHumansMadeStillsHandsBigsBeautifulHeavenCan DoKnownEnvironmentHeardBandSingingAngelInstrumentsHeavenlyOrchestraSymphonyOur EnvironmentChoirBeautiful MusicSymphony OrchestrasGreatest Music Author:David Berg
“Shared leadership... is less like a an orchestra, where the conductor is always in charge, and more like a jazz band, where leadership is passed around ... depending on what the music demands at the moment and who feels most moved by the spirit to express the music.” FeelsMomentsSpiritBandDemandMovedJazzEducationalOrchestraConductorJazz Band Author:Phillip C.

“There are two kinds of music. One comes from the strings of a guitar, the other from the strings of the heart. One sound comes from a chamber orchestra, the other from the beating of the heart's chamber. One comes from an instrument of graphite and wood, the other from an organ of flesh and blood. This loftier music I speak of tonight is more pleasing than the notes of the most gifted composers, more moving than a marching band, more harmonious than a thousand voices joined in hymn and more powerful than all the world's percussion instruments combined.

“As you get older - for example, in our band we have members of our orchestra, like Carlos Enriquez and Ali Jackson and Walter Blanning. I taught them when they were in high school, and now they teach me.I'll regularly call Ali and say, "Man, can you break this rhythm down for me?" Or Carlos was actually our music director in Cuba, and he's been instrumental in a lot of my education, and I started to develop a saying with them, because they tease me all the time - you get older, you have that familiar relationship - I say, "You have to follow your young leadership, too."” MenSchoolYoungTeachBreakExampleTaughtBandDirectorsMembersHigh SchoolFamiliarRhythmOrchestraCubaTeaseTease Me Author:Wynton Marsalis
“Duke Ellington's career traces the entire history of jazz. The repertoire associated with him contains the most important elements in the music and provides concrete examples of some of the best ways to present the music in the widest variety of settings-radio, TV, recordings, movies, concert halls, festivals, solo, small ensemble, big band, symphony orchestra, opera, Broadway shows....

“I studied trumpet for almost 15 years and was performing with a professional concert marching band in parades and rodeos. I was headed back east to study music, and if I hadn't been intrigued with the Native American flute, I suppose I'd now be jockeying for first chair of the brass section of some orchestra, or perhaps I'd be teaching music in a school system.” IfsYearsFirstsSchoolStudyTeachingBandEastPerformingNativeChairsConcertsNative AmericanSectionsOrchestraTrumpetsParadesIntriguedBrassSchool SystemFlutesRodeoMarching Band Author:R.
