Today at percussion tech class;
We got
our proficiency test results back.
The teachers were doing the usual, telling me how much me, as an
8th grader went from 8th grade percussion knowledge to high
school percussion knowledge, told me stuff what I could've
done better, and that gave the usual congratulations you receive
after doing well on a test
They said I could call the next person, and right as I started to
walk away, one of the teachers said:
Once every few years a natural musicians stumbles into
the percussion section. And a Natural can easily pick up any
instrument, and be a master at it with little difficulty. You
might think that Megan, or "crazy mallet girl", who
runs the show, is a natural, but she's not. She's very
good, one of the bests I've ever seen but music does not come
naturally to her. There's only one natural in the percussion
section currently, Luke, who's a junior, but he doesnt put in
all that much effort into band class, which is why most
people would suspect Megan to be a natural. Naturals are such a
big help to the percussion section, especially to the pit, its a
weird section to play. One day, if you put as much effort into
band as Megan did, you'll be running the show, be called
"Crazy mallet girl" and be just as good as her
Because Gabby, just like Luke, I can see that you are a natural
musican. ♥
