The Morning at Trent Park Elementary School

Thursday, October 20th,  Miss Holly and I went to Trent Park to play the violin for the 4th graders. Miss Holly explained the parts of the violin and asked questions to them. First I started off playing Baa Baa Black Sheep with a variation at the end of it. I messed up a little bit but a kept going. She asked if anyone knew what a variation was. She made a example and  said if you put a stuffed Elmo on a person's head he'd still be that person but  with a Elmo on his head, that's a variation. Then Miss Holly played a piece of music. It was Twinkle Little Star  with a variation. Then Miss Holly and I played a duet together. It was called Glow Worm. Then I played To God Be the Glory. I messed up on that a little because my hands were sweaty. One girl asked if Miss Holly can play another song. She did a pizzicato song. Then she played a double string song. I liked that song best that she played. That  was fun playing for the 4th graders. This is the second year if played for them. Tomorrow they go to hear the NC symphony.
