CLARINET
In Hailey's Elementary students are allowed to choose to participate in band in 5th grade. Hailey has looked forward to this opportunity for a long time! At the beginning of the year the students listened to each instrument, and then they chose their favorite. Hailey chose the clarinet, and she has been thrilled with her choice!

It has been fun listening to Hailey develop in her talent. In the beginning...well, it was much like what should be expected from a beginner; however, Hailey only remained in the "beginner" stage for a short time. She progressed rather quickly from an occasional honk, to rarely honking, to music being played. Despite Hailey's beautiful music, Jacob still prefers silence over the clarinet. He tells Hailey to stop the "noise" (as he calls it), but the rest of the family feels that her music is very enlightening. We are all impressed at how quickly she has developed this talent!
