Hello Readers!
I always wanted to be a musician of some sort. I wanted to be on stage and sing and
dance. The Lizzie McGuire movie was my
inspiration.
But then again, what ten year-old doesn’t want to be the
same thing? It’s all about being the best and the greatest
and I found that of myself (more or less) a different way.
I also forgot to mention that the people I chose to relate
myself to are some of my favorite people in history. There is just one catch: I chose Hitler for
something. Now before you are quick to
judge, allow me to explain…when I post about him.
Johann
Sebastian Bach
He felt the
tasks he was assigned to complete took away from his composing time and
artistic abilities. The Church bored
him. Assigned to be a teacher and it was
really frustrating to him to teach the less talented. He even had a quarrel with one student over
the matter. He sided with Martin Luther
in that music was to uplift the soul and bring a man closer to finding
God. He would take simple Hymns and
though the words would be directly telling you what the composer wanted you to
know, Bach was able to show forth God’s mighty and power through the music.

As I grew
up, I began playing the Clarinet. It
wasn’t an official class during the day, so I was excused from class for one
hour to have a lesson in the teachers break room. My teacher was fantastic and it was quite
clear she was good, but she held back on all of the students. She taught us as slow as the slowest student. At first, I didn’t mind. But when I began teaching myself how to play,
I began to be frustrated. I believed
music was a way to express yourself and praise God, but I didn’t know how I
could properly do that if I wasn’t properly being taught.
