The Ever Talented Nalani

Nalani loves band! Have I mentioned that before? She is very dedicated when it comes to practicing her trombone, and band is one of her favorite classes. She even likes her teacher, Ms. Kaminsky!

Nalani wanted to try out for the Jazz Band. She needed to practice some bars of jazz music with tricky rhythms. I played them for her on the piano so she would know how they should sound, and worked with her on how long to hold some notes. Nalani went to the audition and made it in!

Next, Nalani decided that Jazz Band wasn't enough. She wanted to try out for the Symphonic Band. Otherwise, next year she would have been in the Concert Band. Nalani needed to learn all of her scales plus arpeggios. She auditioned for the Symphonic Band and made it again! She is so happy and proud.

We are also proud of Nalani, and we're happy she loves music and playing the trombone.
