Statement

音乐专业个人陈述（PS）

　　I

have

had

a

keen

interest

in

music

since

the

age

of

seven.

I've

always

enjoyed

listening

to

all

types

of

music,

especially

classical

and

jazz.

Through

my

earlier

years

as

a

young

apprentice

musician,

I

focused

mainly

on

classical

music,

as

I

started

to

play

the

violin

at

the

age

of

eight.

This

was

the

beginning

of

my

musical

career.

Since,

I

have

been

given

numerous

chances

to

play

in

shows

and

spectacles

all

over

the

country

with

school,

one

being

a

performance

in

the

Waterfront

Hall

in

Belfast,

and

several

solo

performances

in

local

theatres

and

town

halls.

During

my

time

at

DominicanCollege,

I

have

been

involved

in

at

least

two

different

major

musical

productions

a

year.

In

recent

years

I

have

been

given

responsibility

in

orchestras

and

bands.

I

have

directed

and

conducted

two

string

quartets

for

different

shows

and

arranged

several

pieces

for

these

performances.

　　Although

I

much

enjoy

playing,

I

enjoy

composing

a

lot

more.

For

my

GCSE

and

AS

level

music

compositions,

I

achieved

full

marks.

Apart

from

playing

the

violin,

I

also

play

the

piano.

I

gained

Grade

3

in

4

years

ago,

but

I

haven't

done

any

more

exams

since.

I

can

play

the

piano

at

a

grade

5-6

standard,

and

I

tend

to

focus

on

jazz

music

and

improvisation.

My

piano

skills

should

be

more

than

adequate

for

my

university

course.

I

understand

that

a

BMus

or

a

BA

in

music

allow

you

to

choose

options

to

focus

on,

such

as

composition

and

performance.

I

have

chosen

courses

in

good

sized

music

departments,

where

I

have

a

good

choice

of

specialist

options.

I

think

I

would

like

to

focus

on

composition

and

music

analysis,

as

these

tend

to

be

my

present

forte.

　　Although

I

have

done

few

'grade'

exams,

I

am

now

playing

at

a

grade

7-8

standard

and

I

am

working

on

several

pastiches

by

Fritz

Kreisler.

　　One

of

the

other

aspects

of

music

I

enjoy

is

teaching.

I

find

it

rewarding

and

fun

to

do.

For

my

work

experience

I

chose

to

work

with

a

peripatetic

string

tutor

who

worked

for

the

NEELB

music

board.

It

lasted

one

week,

and

I

enjoyed

it

immensely.

The

teacher

gave

me

the

chance

to

teach

the

students

on

my

own.

This

gave

me

a

real

insight

into

teaching

a

wide

range

of

different

techniques

to

different

levels

of

player.

For

example,

I

taught

a

girl

in

primary

seven

how

to

hold

a

bow

properly,

and

I

taught

a

boy

in

Form

4

how

to

play

a

chromatic

scale.

For

two

years

I

have

been

helping

to

teach

at

a

local

youth

string

orchestra

on

Tuesday

evenings.

A

music

degree

will

enable

me

to

keep

my

options

open

as

to

a

career

path.

　　Apart

from

music,

my

other

love

is

golf.

I

have

played

golf

for

about

3-4

years,

and

I

have

been

a

member

of

Portstewart

Golf

Club

for

three

years.

I

started

playing

golf

because

I

always

had

a

keen

interest

in

it,

but

previously

had

no

opportunity

to

play.

However,

once

I

started,

I

was

hooked!

I

play

most

weekends

and

last

year

I

played

in

the

Fred

Daly

team,

an

all

Irelandcompetition

for

under

18s.

I

managed

to

help

the

team

to

the

quarterfinals

of

the

Ulstersection.

To

date,

I

have

won

one

of

the

clubs

'majors',

that

being

a

match

play

tournament

called

the

Moore-Brown

challenge

cup.

At

the

moment,

I

play

off

a

handicap

of

7.
