DO, RE, MI, FA, SCHOOL

Our school is special because we learn music in the morning and also in the afternoon. Such as in addition to our music lessons in the morning, it offers, to some children, to play an instrument in the afternoon: flute, guitar, piano, trumpet, trombone and tuba. We interviewed some of our schoolmates who attend the musical address.

Francesco is a 12 year old boy who chose to play the guitar because he took the musical passion from his grandfather Andrea who played the same instrument. For Francesco, the selection day, was very simple, but he was very excited, because the teachers looked at him straight in the eyes.

Francesco goes to the guitar lessons every Monday from 13:00 to 14:00 and from 15:00 to 16:00 with all the other guys who play guitar. His first concert was on December 14, 2018 at 18:30. His first song was "TWYNCOL". Francesco was very worried for the performance because he made a guitar duet with another girl, but it was a success.

Luna is 12 years old and she chose flute because it produces sweet and sharp sounds just like her personality but also because her grandfather was a music teacher and he wanted so much that Luna played an instrument. She knows that her grandfather looks at her from above and he is proud of her.
Luna has flute lessons on Monday, from 3 p.m to 4 p.m together with other guys, while on Thursdays on 1:00 pm she has her individual lesson.

Ikram is 12 years old and plays trumpet. She likes it because it has a high-piched sound. Her first performance was on Jingle Bells (quite easy) . Every Monday, from 4p.m to 5p.m and every Friday from 1p.m. to 2p.m she has her music lessons. She loves them. But her favourite moment is when, on Monday, all the class students play trumpet all together.
When she has her first performance she was worried, but her teacher supported and encouraged her.

For us teens, music is pure freedom, fun and it is always with us, all day long. When we listen to music, we have not gotn any more problems, disappointments, stress, anxieties and fears.
