I have been doing Federation for 7 years and every year I have gotten a Superior ranking. I have 2 gold cups (Every 3 years of superior = One gold cup) and have 2 more years until my next one! This year, I got a 99 and 98 (out of 100 possible points) from the two judges.

I had no idea that my new piano had an autoplay feature! I can made it look like I was playing the Turkish March all by myself. But, of course, it doesn't sound too good because the recording of the performer wasn't very expressive. Even still, I can record my own pieces and the piano can play them perfectly! Watch till the end!

This is me and my violin teacher - Mr. Petkov. He is showing me how to play my new orchestra piece. I am sure you heard this selection before, but in case you haven't it is called: Eine Kline Nachtmusik , a piece composed by Mozart. I am just learning it, so I promise it will sound a lot better when I play it on the day of the concert!

Starter String teacher - Mrs. Emmons - offered me an opportunity to perform violin at the showcase concert. I loved the opportunity, but it was a challenge for me because it was a new piece of music that I started not long ago. This was also the second time I performed violin in front of an audience. I was a little scared and shaky, so please forgive me if this doesn't sound too impressive.

I am helping with the Starter String lessons at my school weekly. We have around 20 kids this semester and it is a pretty large class. This is a wonderful experience for me and I am also learning while I help out. Thank you ISYO for offering this opportunity; I am so grateful.
