Nick

This one is a short blog. about Nick. He is a kid in my aural skills class who i don't think even really knows me, but he's taught me something really cool.
This is going to sound really harsh, but i honestly wondered if he was every going to survive the music program, because he was completely tone deaf. (he's a percussionist.) I felt bad every time he had to get up in front of the class. But our teacher was patient and told him what he was doing, where he was singing and helped him along. The other day we were in class and he got up to sing. She played his note, he was right on. His interval was really close as well.

Don't let challenges limit you.

I didn't know someone who was tone deaf could even learn how to hear notes. but you can.

it'll take work, but you can learn how to do hard things if you want it bad enough.

Now he is not an amazing singer by any means. But he'll survive aural skills and the music program. Just takes effort and someone to tell you how to do it right.
