Claire played the oboe for the school district solo festival last weekend. She was playing a level V piece of music (out of VI). It was the first movement of Hanel's Sonata No. 1. She played beautifully and gracefully listened to the excellent constructive criticism by the adjudicator. She got an "excellent" rating. That's just one level below "superior." Yeah, Claire!
Benjamin drew this awesome doodle as part of the spelling assignment to illustrate his spelling words.

Yay, Claire! I played the clarinet and I know how difficult mastering the oboe is. It is one of the most important instruments in an orchestra.
And, thriller? How creative is that? Sometimes I miss my days when I was a Mom of kids this age. In their 40s, they are still making me proud.
These creative acorns have certainly not fallen far from the tree. Congratulatins to all of you!
Way to go Claire! The oboe is indeed a lovely instrument - but a HARD one to master. Deborah, I have to point out that oboes are very sought after in college orchestras and bands, so even if Claire doesn't want to major in music, she could receive a music scholarship in many many schools and "earn" it by playing in a major ensemble and taking lessons. :-)
Congratulations to Claire & Ben's creativity is showing too. I know you are a very proud Mom.
Agreed! Your kids are awesome. :-)
Congrats to Claire!
And Ben's drawing made me laugh out loud.
Robin, so. IN
