Google Final Day

At long last, Julia and I presented our ukulele project (side note: ukulele is pronounced oo-ku-leh-leh). It went rather well, I think. Both Julia and I were really nervous when we were playing in front of the class. There's this thing that happens when you have to give a presentation in front of a whole bunch of people; a tiny voice tells you that you're going to mess up. If you listen to the voice, you're going to mess up (obviously), but if you don't, it nags at you for the entirety of your presentation. Julia and I did our best to ignore the tiny voice, and people seemed to enjoy our music, so I would call this year's project a success. Hopefully we can do this thing next year as well!

Signing out,
Allegra

Almost done :(

I am practicing the pieces for if we present tomorrow, I hope the class appreciates our holiday spirit!
My ukulele keeps going quite flat really easily, I am going to need to research about that to see if there is anything I can do to fix this without buying a new instrument. While practicing the pieces for tomorrow, I started playing around online and sight read a couple of songs that are quite fun! I am really happy that I can actually sight read the songs that I want to sing along to now, it feels like a good accomplishment.
