A musical instrument-flute
At the mention of the instrument flute, most people remember the scene from the famous, funny movie American Pie; however, they never stop and think how wonderful and amazing this instrument really is. This long yet diligent instrument is fun to play. In high school, I was in the band and also the marching band. On the field, this quite instrument is hardly heard because its sound is quite when matched against the hard sound of the brass and it not up close to someone since marching band is performed on a field; on the other hand, in a band performing on stage in a closed area, the flute is often heard because of its high pitched notes and a room is often quieter then a field. When first learning how to play my flute, feeling the smooth texture on the silver first placed in my hand, the many notes confused me, but I was determined to learn. I wanted to be able to get the lovely, soft, beautiful sound that many musicians can get out of it. So I practiced like crazy. Once learned how to play well, the flute can easily calm any person down and often takes someone to a place of flowers so beautiful; it just relaxes them. That is what I aim for every chance I get to perform. I want the beauty of the flute to be shown to others around me.
