Learning:


           Last Tuesday, the band got a new piece. When i first looked at it, I was like, "this is going to be very hard. WRONG!!!
          
           Thanks to Miss Hunt, i found the website where I can find any piece I wanted. when I listened to the piece the first time, i thought I wasn't going to figure it out for a while. I only needed to learn the long, hard, complicated, solo. And the solo was due on May 9th which gave me about a month to learn the solo.

           It has been a week since the band got the piece and I've already learned the entire solo. Yesterday, the band played Double or Nothing and we got to measure 33. I played my solo and Miss Hunt and Mr Centera were amazed how well I had played the solo. We stopped at measure 57 and I never realized that everyone had stopped playing because I was only focused on playing my solo. When we stopped at 57, Miss Hunt looked at me and said, "That was amazing. How did you do that?" 

           We went back to measure 19 andplayed up to 57 and again she said the exact same thing. She knew I was ready. Mr Centera knew I was ready, the entire band knew I was ready. And now, all I need to do is keep playing it over and over again and to make sure it is perfect.

           The things that I used to learn my solo were
I hope y'all go to the site and listen to the song. I've been working really hard on the solo. Please make sure you comment and/or give me constructive critisism.
