Voice, 7th grade, Frontier Academy
How long have you taken voice lessons?
1 year
What do you love about singing?
I like that people have different ranges of voices and we are not all the same, so we can harmonize. I love the way that you can express yourself, the different varieties of songs and themes.
What is an obstacle you had to overcome for this achievement?
Doing the TonicTutor every week and keep up with that; it helped me learn the basic skills for singing. I kind of knew them already but didn’t really know how to use them.
What do you like about Flourish?
Everything. I like the teachers and the way they teach. I learn different skills; If I am having a certain problem my teacher knows how to fix it.
What else do you like to do?
I like to kayak and to draw.
