Music Appreciation
Music is the universal language of the soul. It transcends time,
space, and consciousness.It is the melodic heart beat of one
basking in love, and of another wallowing in pain. It is thevoice
of one's spirit put into rhyme and reason.
Needless to say, music is important in our lives - for it serves
both as a form of relaxationand enjoyment, as well as channel to
one's creativity. As an Augustinian, it is important that
werecognize and appreciate the importance of music in our total
development and such is thevision of CSA that it conducts a yearly
music appreciation engagement for its students.
To date, Colegio San Agustin Makati conducted its most recent
Music Appreciationprogram last February 13, 2009. Held at the St.
Ambrose Theater with invited musicians fromdifferent reputable
Colleges of Music performing, the program sought to encourage
Augustinians to value the sounds of Philippine culture.This
year, the invited musicians introduced native instruments - and the
melodies each
produce - to the students in the hopes of sparking a positive
interest in them.In connection, the once-every-two-years CSA
songfest contest for the Grade 7 was also
held in the month of February. The stage of St. Ambrose Theater
saw dazzling, energetic, andjaw-dropping performances from each of
the sections of the 7th level who tackled variousgenres of music
from contemporary to classic, pop to ballad, and even Christian
rock.
The whole affair is a shout out to the Augustinians' undeniable
commitment to music and
a testament to their versatility in talents. by Angela Rebecca
