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. : )

The Kidnapped Singer

 Prologue In France, Miss Jasmine Florez was at her singing concert with her mom. She was singing Speechless and So Long Farewell. She loves singing in front of crowds. She saw families sitting together and enjoying the performance. It broke her heart that her younger sister was not there. As the sky darkened, she called a taxi to take her home.  Her mom had been staying with her at Jewel Plaza for the past week while preparing for the concert. Jasmine’s mom was also a famous singer. Her mom stood there and said as she came in: “ You did great sweet pea.” Jasmine looked at her mom with a sad smile. Her mom beckoned for Jasmine to join her on the couch. “ Sweetie I don’t want to worry you but this came in the mail this morning,” her mom said. Her mom handed her a letter with the family crest stamped onto it. She opened it… and read it.   Chapter 1 The Return Home Jasmine and her mom’s eyes met. It was like they were talking without words. They started packing and took...

A Little Bit About Me 2020

Hi, my name is Diya Sudhagar. I am currently eleven years old I have four people in my family including me. I have a little sister named Isha, who is in second grade at Welch Elementary. I also have my mom and dad. An area of interest that I have is singing. I came to be interested in it at a young age, maybe around 2 or 3. My parents enrolled me in Hindustani Classical Music when I was around 3-4. I am still learning now and I have performed  many times.  I listen to so many songs, when studying, eating, car rides, movies, restaurants, etc. I feel just that music is a special part of me.   My talents are reading, imagination, organizing, singing, and dancing.

My imaginations used when I just want to daydream/imagine things that aren’t true. For instance imagining…. meeting famous people!!! My reading ke...
