Nowadays, musicians are given an ultimatum. The two articles “ Bands are loud! Teen Musicians should protect their ears” and “No Fortissimo? Symphony Told to Keep It Down” explain how musicians are given the choice to decide to protect their ears by wearing earplugs or not wearing them. Musicians used to never wear earplugs considering they had to listen to the music as well.

He describes it as inward, unique, and silent to all people except the individual “reading silently”. Throughout this poem, Lux expands

the entire length rather than a more precise and slower speed virtuosic players recommend using, This opinion piece expounds how conductors erroneously instruct bass players to use a swift-moving bow when it should travel slower to achieve a clear sound, according to proper technique. Highlighting this point, Karr makes it clear conductors are compromising the tone quality of the bass section, and ultimately the orchestra. Karr then demonstrates the extreme fixation conductors have towards the idealized

materials was a xylophone. This instrument makes sound by tapping it with a metal spoon or anything with metal such as a fork, screwdriver and etc. In addition, the materials I used to make the xylophone was an egg carton, series of wrenches, and a metal spoon, due to each material having an important attribute to my instrument. For instance, the egg carton helps eliminate echoes of the sound created. Also, it has a small contribution for the sound waves, a movement to transfer energy, to absorb.
