First week of school

Today was my first week of 7th grade. I am still doing half-time home school. The subjects that I have at school are band, bells, science, choir, German, and art. My favorite subject is art. I got to have a pajama day yesterday because my principal is awesome! If you are Home-schooled, leave a comment below!

I am really busy this week.

As the title says, I am really busy this week. I have a lot of things going on, including 1 music festival, 2 MAP tests, 3 rehearsals, and 1 field trip. For the music festival, I have to stay for the whole day. I have the MAP tests on 2 different days, and the rehearsals are Thursday and next Monday. The field trip is Thursday morning. YAY!

Back to school

Yesterday I was back to school again after spring break. Not much exiting happened. I played bells* and sang in choir and did my English. My mom said I have to finish ALL my homework for the whole week before I can play video games. This is already supposed to be Thursday's homework.




* late April fools. We had study hall because some people took a long time to mark their music

drama and other things i'm thinking about.

This spring i am doing a musical called The Granny Awards about fairy tale characters getting awards like Best female vocalist. during the play, the Big Bad Wolf tries to steal the awards. I am Cinderella/Red riding hood. I am also a kitten in the Three Little Kittens laundry commercial, and a child in the Hickory Dickory Dock clocks ad.

John McCutcheon Concert

The John McCutcheon Concert was fun! During most of the time I drew and sometimes I just envisioned pictures in m head. I drew pictures of a mill, a piano playing in the middle of the city of Sarajevo, and other things that went along with the songs. We went with my Oma and Opa, and I got an autograph of John McCutcheon on one of my pictures because it was so amazing. I got a picture with him too! There were also fireworks because a church nearby was hosting a block party that distracted the other singer. When the grand finale started we could see it through the church skylight and it was very bright. The singer took a pause during that finale. Then at the end John McCutcheon came back and sang with her and the audience got to sing along on some songs.

This one is from "Step by step." Step by step the longest march can be won, can be won. Many stones will form an arch, singly none, singly. And by union what we will can be accomplished still. Drops of water turn a mill. Singly none, singly none.






I drew this one during "Calling All the Children Home." 
Home to the table, home to the feast
Where the last are first and the greatest are the least
Where the rich will envy what the poor have got
Everybody's got enough, 'though we ain't got a lot
No one is forgotten, no one is alone
When we're calling all the children home
Gathered 'round the table and the big, black pot
Everybody's got enough, 'though we ain't got a lot
No one is forgotten, no one is alone
From the sacks in Soweto to the ice of Nome
From Baghdad City to the streets of RomeWhen we're calling all the children home 


This one was from "Streets of Sarajevo." It talked about people who were killed in a breadline and then a musician came and played in the crater left by the bomb every day for 22 days, one for each of the victims. My mom told me later it was a cello not a piano but I still like it and so did Mr. McCutcheon.

Piano recital

Tomorrow I have a piano recital. I'm so excited. I played Tumblinka and be prepared. I can't wait. I also play guitar for Guitar I am playing Shalom and hey ho nobody home.

Oboe

I play the oboe. My instructor so that the old boy is the hardest instrument to play because it needs the most pressure. The oboe has 6 main holes. It also has other things that you can push down. It is very complex.

Phantom of the music room

Today is my very first musical! It's called phantom of the music room

I also made a video game track. It looks like this.   --–-__-–·_____-—·------ - ___.:;:::;__::

New Friend!

Two days ago I made a new friend. I found out that we both were very enthusiastic. She has to drive an hour just to get to school! We both are excited about school.

I like school. I like recess, lunch, and everything else. I haven an interesting teacher for music. She's my mother! But someone else teaches recorders. I started learning recorders last week. It's easy to play.

Solos!

For confirmation I got to "Seek Ye First" as a small group with the big kids' choir. For the concert, I get a solo for "Oh Every Morn."
