Music


In 5Th grade my elementary school offer music lessons after school. You could sign up for almost any instrument, I choose the flute. After that year, I kinda stopped practicing it. All through middle school my friend Susan tried getting me to play again, because we originally met in 5Th grade when our schools joined together to play a concert. We were sitting right next to each other playing flute. Finally last year, my school opened the performing arts program. It took us half a year, but we did get a music teacher, worked on singing with the performing arts kids, and music, such as instruments, with anyone who signed up for the classes. I started back up with the flute, I really only went to lessons every once and a while so I didn't learn all that much.


Then this year I started flute at the beginning of the year with a brand new flute my dad bought me. I have come so far with it, that the teacher had me start on the alto saxophone. The fingerings for the notes are basically the same so the switch was really easy. I have only been playing saxophone for a little over a month, and I have already played 2 songs in the concert we had last Friday. I am still playing both instruments and I actually know more about the saxophone than my teacher. Only because I have been learning from the finger chart, and he played trumpet for 6 years without even touching another instrument.


My teacher thinks that I am so good on the sax that he actually wants me to audition for the All South Jersey Band. Which is like the best thing for high school students.


That is all for this post, see Y'all nest time.
