At the end of each quarter, students who study music outside of school can perform for their classmates during general music class. This gives the performer a chance to build confidence and poise, and it gives the classmates practice in respectful listening, or concert etiquette. It also gives classmates an opportunity to appreciate the hard work that goes into practicing a musical instrument at home.
Ashley, a sixth grader, has been studying piano since the age of 3. She is new to Daniels Run this year; before moving to Fairfax, Ashley lived in the capital city of Cameroun, in central Africa. She also speaks French fluently, plays violin, and performs with Daniels Run Singers. She practices piano at home one or two hours a day. Listen to her perform two preludes by Ashley.
