EPISODE 27: SOMERSET MUSIC FESTIVAL -PT. 2

No sweaty palms, just stay calm,..that was our chant today, all the way to his 3rd performance for piano solo post 1900 composers category. He was playing this song, "Minnie Mouse Hits Town" and played it rather well. He made one slight mistake, but was as expressive as he could ever get... for a straight-faced guy.. another boy also played same song. The minute he played, there was a clear difference. I knew Jordie definitely was the better player.. other children did well too, but I knew he was definitely better than the rest...and so, today he won his 1st blue ribbon!! Him and another boy tie.. for 1st place.. He was so pleased with himself. "Getting better and better!" His teacher, though had higher standards. She said he still needed to improve, and the message was blue ribbon wasn't the ultimate goal.. you still need to be watching out for this and that.. until your exams... sigh!

Well done, Jordie.

Don't want to sound like your teacher but blue ribbon isn't the ultimate goal...
