Modeling how to write about our talent!
Here is a short composition a friend of the school wrote about his talent two years ago... he gladly accompanied us for the previous two years to open our project. This year he can´t come because he moved back to his native country with his entire family. However, l talked to him about sharing what he had written for us about his knack for music before, and he agreed to let you go into his paper and discover something about his life...
Take a look at it!...and let´s talk about its interesting facts during class...

Nathan S. Popp
I shouldn’t say I, but rather my mother discovered my knack for music at the age of two. Where most kids that age have play time, I had practice time. With my mother at the piano and my sisters at my side, I had to practice for one hour every day. This translated into concerts around town at various churches. We were called The Popp Family Singers. My first solo came at the ripe age of three.
As an adolescent, I was invol-ved with a group called The Kansas Boys Choir. We met once a week to practice, performed in various venues around town, and went on tour in June and July. I was constantly involved in some kind of musical or choir activity. There was no such thing as down time. During high school, I involved myself in choir and band, in which I played the Euphonium. I ended up studying Music Education at the University of Nebraska, all the while singing with Opera Omaha in the evenings. After moving to Japan, the singing ceased for a while, but I picked it up again by singing Japanese traditional songs at various coffee or tea houses with a traditional Japanese instrument called the Okarina.
Nowadays, I can’t say that I have been singing like I should. I moved to Colombia on June 16, 2008 and was immediately immersed in my work, not to mention a wedding. The voice is an instrument, and just like any other instrument, one needs to practice daily to prevent it from going out of shape. These days I sing at weddings and other celebrations, but I hope to find a group or something to get me back into the swing of things. Music truly brings joy to my life.
