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 I. Flestado
