Musical Prodigy
From reading “You Can Grow Your Brain” I was able to make a personal connection relating to when I was in High School. Everyone started to play an instrument at grade six: generally you were taught about music and instruments early. I in the other hand decided to start during high school, I was not taught anything they just gave me a paper with music on it and I purchased the instrument and I was ready for class. I was involved in a music class but in this class particularly we used our voices as our instruments. I was taught the simple do, re, mi but I was not taught what a half note or a rest was. I did this for a year, then decided that I was not a singer so I left. My friends were musicians they played their instruments
(T) In addition, accepting new and difficult things by using the correct strategies can strengthen the brain. (E) In a new research, You Can Grow Your Brain by Health & Science, it reports that, "...when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger, a lot like the muscles do. You can improve your abilities a lot, as long as you practice and use good strategies." (A) We are training our brain as we learn new things and struggle from it. When we struggle with something, we seek for different methods to try and this helps the brain to change for the better. (E) During my senior year of high school, I was envious of my friends driving to school. I decided to study during summer and I easily passed the written test.
I started my education in Erie, Pennslyviana.I attend McDowell High. I would say that we were one of the richer schools were I live. I am going to talk about my first assignment Brainology. I thought it was very interesting and it thought me a lot about how some people have different mindsets.
Growing up I was always around musicians, and music interested me, but I was always steered towards more academics. I finally got into music in High-School. It made me rather nervous because here I was sitting in a room with people who basically played instruments and sung within the womb, and I was unable to even read music. So at first I asked my friends who were all music aficionados. Every second thing that came out of my mouth was a question about music. What was tone? How do I play a scale? What is moderato? And how on earth was I going to catch up to these kids? So especially in band I took control and I took my French horn home every weekend and practiced for hours, determined to meet my high standards.
Kids to adults, when? The question of maturity is as vexed as the answer. Brain maturity plays a part as different areas of the brain mature at various points. Society provides another answer as responsibility is presented at unique times as well.
My sixth grade year was the most significant year of schooling for me. A few weeks into school, and not knowing anyone in my classes, I decided to talk to the school band director to find potential in me playing an instrument. At the time, I didn’t know anyone in band; I just wanted to become apart of it.
I was eleven when I started playing the cello. At the beginning, I was sure I was going to quit. Learning an instrument was much harder than it looked, and was I not a very patient kid. Struggling through books of tedious lessons was not enjoyable and seemed like a waste of time. I remember begging my mom to let me quit, but she kept telling me that it was going to be worth it in the end. As most eleven year olds do, I disregarded her input and brushed it to the side.
The participants includes: Massachusetts General Hospital Center for Law, Brain, and Behavior, The US Supreme Court, Harvard's Affective Neuroscience & Development Lab, Leah H. Somerville.The study is about the challenge of defining maturity when the brain never stops changing. It has been a subject of wide debate as to what age the brain fully matures or developed. Some experts in the past claims that the brain may have been done developing at mid or late teens (Mental Health Daily, 2016). Neuroscientists themselves don't know when the brain is a legal adult (fully matures). While the law has to draw a line between adolescence and maturity, ranging globally from 10 to the early 20s, different parts of the brain mature at different rates,
Through the practice, I was completely useless. I played very quietly so nobody would hear my wrong notes. My neighbors tried to help me, but what they said made no affect at the pitiful puddle of experience I had gathered in the short time.
In the television segment Boosting Brain Power, I agree with Dr. Nora Volckan. I do not think that students should take medication for attention deficit disorder if they do not have it, even if it helps them get a better grade. First of all, relying on a drug one does not need medically is not a good idea. The video “Adderal: Can it Boost Your GPA” stated that so far research has not shown that it using these drugs can cause an addition. However, this does not mean that it will not cause a dependency. The college students in the video said that they used stimulants such as Ritalin or Adderall because it helped them focus. None of the students interviewed admitted that they felt addicted to the drugs, and one did admit that while on the drug
After reading the article “You Can Grow Your Brain”, I noticed that my brain has have grow many times and keeps growing and I did not know about it. It is very impressive how just by learning or practicing things we make our brain get stronger and grow.
I decided I wanted to play the harp the very first time I saw it, at age five. One Sunday in church I witnessed a harpist playing along with the choir, and was instantly mesmerized by the beauty of its sound.
I started playing the clarinet in 5th grade, when all of the students had to pick an instrument and be taught how to play it, and at the end of the year play in a school concert. Before 5th grade, we all had to learn to play recorder, to this day I do not completely know why I disliked the recorder and only ever learned two songs on it, whether it was the sound or the feeling, or how my music teacher taught it to us, I always disliked the recorder in elementary school. But in 5th grade I wanted it to be different, I wanted to be able to say that I played an instrument in school, and carry that skill with me through life. After thinking for a while I settled on the clarinet, I originally wanted to play the saxophone, but the school was having a shortage of saxophones and I settled with the clarinet. When I first played my clarinet it
A child becomes an adult when they reach the age of twenty-four, and they decide they are ready to handle the largest amount of responsibilities they are going to have to deal with for an extended amount of time. These responsibilities can be from buying a house and paying your mortgage monthly to something as simple as finding a steady job or finding one’s self a career. A person will show a growing amount of independence and will also seem to be more helpful and interactive. It doesn't have to rely solely on age,
For a month or two, I went to a family friend and he would show me songs to play and I had friends who started playing around the time I did so we would learn new stuff and show each other… But never actually had lessons for any instruments.
Brain development in the first two years is the most important and critical. Maria Montessori referred to this time as of the "absorbent mind" Early brain development is the frame work for the road ahead. When and how the brain develops in the first two years will play a critical role into adulthood. At birth, the brain is the only incomplete organ. The brain will continue to grow through childhood and adolescents.
