The Seniors (and my roommate Emily) are in Rome right now. (Read here for my account of last year’s trip) They’re having a grand time in the sun on the beach while the rest of us plug on with school. We make the most of it, though.
For me, it means a lighter schedule – I have fewer lessons to give this week. Orchestra goes on almost as normal, except we’re missing one of our cellists. Guitar class, though, is completely disrupted. 3 out of the 6 students are seniors. So, what is there to do? Have a little fun with the guitars, of course! Last year, a guitar student introduced me to this video. It inspired a Spring Concert rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow with 4 students on 1 guitar. But this time around, we took Walk Off the Earth’s arrangement (minus guitar-sharing).
