The Amazing, Wonderful, Fantastical, Beautiful Flute Part 1

I have been playing the flute for three years now, since the start of sixth grade. Playing the flute has been a special part of my life. I am in my school wind ensemble, and I even got into ILMEA! I have looked back at solos I have done from the start of sixth grade till now. I see so much improvement. My tone is much more pleasant, and my vibrato sounds so much more mature. This goes in showing, how practice really does make things better. What's funny is, at the end of sixth grade, the highest note I could play was a g. But now the highest I an play is a really, really high b natural.

The flute has been proven to benefit the brain, so its not only fun to play but it is good for you too. Physically, it promotes good posture and better breathing. As well as playing the flute, I run too. The breathing the flute taught me, helps me when I run. The flute also relieves stress. During school, the flute would always make me feel happier, and calmer.

Did you know??????

That there are 13 different flute types in the world. I only knew three of them. The common C flute, the bansuri(Indian flute), and the Piccolo(a flute that is very small). All of them sound so beautiful. What differentiates the flutes from each other is their size, range, and tone.

This is part 1 of this 2 post series. : )

Favorite Restraunt

I recently came upon an essay I wrote in 5th grade during remote learning. This restaurant is still my favorite. I go there for many celebrations when given the choice to choose where to eat. "Do you love Chinese/Asian food and are waiting to try a new place? Come to P.F. Chang the place that has food based on that. It is my favorite because it has noodles and fried rice, but those are not my only favorite things about P.F. Chang, their decorations are splendid. P.F. Chang’s lettuce wrap comes in two different tastes/looks. A vegetarian and non-vegetarian one. P.F. Chang has so many decorations such as Chinese/Asian warriors. You can find a Chinese/Asian picture of people as a bar headpiece. Whenever we go there my younger sister and I always alternate between our favorite foods, Lo Mein and fried rice. I always try to eat with the chopsticks. The music they play is not too loud or too sleepy but it feels calm. One of the desserts they have is Lava Cake. It comes with a piece of

Apple Picking

Around the end of August my family and another family went apple picking at Kuipers Family Farm. It was the perfect time to go, not too hot, not too cold. A new attraction they had were Sunflower Fields. There were so many beautiful sunflowers. My favorite part about the sunflower fields 🌻 were that each person could pick a sunflower to take home. My little sister's flower was tiny, while mine was medium sized. Whenever we go there we always get fresh donuts from the farm. I would say doing going here is a yearly tradition. Picking fresh apples from the apple trees, and eating them is scrumptious. At the end of our visit all the kids go on a train ride across the apple trees, tunnels, and beautiful flower fields. Facts about many farms Many times fruits are picked earlier than they should be or have been sprayed with chemicals, but at farms you can pick them fresh without any chemicals Farmers will have to grow 70 percent more food than what is currently produced to feed the wor

Being Thankful

What is being thankful? - Being thankful is when you appreciate what you have. If you do not appreciate what you have you will keep on wanting more and more. " Being thankful with what you have while working toward what you want." (This quote can be worded differently but at the end it is the same.) This quote is saying that we have to enjoy what we have but to get what we want we have to work toward it. Many times people are not thankful until they lose something. That is learning that you have to be thankful the hard way. How can I be thankful? - You don't just have to be thankful on Thanksgiving, you can do it all year. Appreciating what you have or people in the world can bring a smile to yours or their face. I appreciate my parents for all their hard work. Another example are the teachers. My teachers work hard to keep us interested in online learning. By just saying how thankful you are to them, it brings joy to their faces. What am I thankful for? My parents, who
