Today in third grade in Jazz Improvisation, we took turns sharing how we felt deep inside. But none of us have the musical vocabulary for something so all-encompassing, so it was mumbling and trying to copy things someone else mumbled. Sometimes I forget that I am not the only one sharing and I mumble a lot for a long time, and have to be reminded that I have two ears but only one soul. (ten fingers!)
Then in accompanying was reading music time and I hate reading in front of the class because I read really slow and fumble things. After school I ate my peanut butter sandwich and rode my bike until it was dark. Then I did my homework which was writing music using vocabulary like whole tone and pentatonic scales and it was really hard and everything I wrote sounded like debussy. Then lights out at 10:30 pm but I secretly stayed awake listening to symphonies.
