EPISODE 26: SOMERSET MUSIC FESTIVAL - Part 1

Jordie performed for his very 1st time at Somerset Music Festival today. The Somerset Music Festival is held every year at Somerset college for most music instrument categories including even poem reading and voice.We were working really hard to make sure he played some decent music for this competition. It is great exposure to performance for children learning music so that they will want to make more effort towards playing and sounding better. Jordie got enrolled in 2 categories today and he played well. He looked really stressed, poor boy, ..
nervous to perform for his 1st song... and worse still, he was the 1st player, so he didn't know what to expect really...even though crowd wasnt very big, he was still nervous. But he did all the right things except one wrong note...the girls really won hands down, they were such good little pianists... He was given a green ribbon (3rd place). Red is for 2nd and blue is the best. I told him green was good, but I believed he could do better, so I asked him, if a red one *2nd place" was possible for 2nd category, he said he'd try.... and he did get it! So proud of him! no photo tho.. unfortunately, ran out of camera battery...
