Hi!
Today we went into college with Frances! I was very excited, but I didn't like having to get up early and stand on the crowded bus. Fortunately, the journey wasn't too long and soon we were at the college where we went into a small room to listen to Frances practicing her flute.
We had music lessons all day, which was pretty cool! The first class was performance, where everyone was working on their confidence and assertiveness so we got to see them doing some pretty crazy things! The next class was community project, so everyone was practicing teaching each other!
We then had a bit of time for lunch, so we went to the college canteen. Frances had made us some yummy wraps, and a muffin, which we enjoyed eating while we chatted with her friends.
In the afternoon, we had listening where we heard some different Baroque pieces which I thought sounded really cool! We then had harmony, where we were learning to write like the Baroque composers we were listening to. It was really cool!
The college is quite big, with about 6000 students and hundreds of different courses. We didn't get to see very much of it, but we enjoyed being in the music department. The building's very cool, with a slanted roof for better acoustics and lots of little rooms for people to practice in. Also, everyone was friendly to us!
