Well, I guess this is goodbye to all of our eagerly awaiting readers. I know you're out there somewhere... Today we performed our Google Project. We talked about the difficulties of this project. Alena hasn't played piano in years, Megan hasn't played guitar in a while and the chord progressions are difficult, and I have never had a formal guitar lesson, which makes singing and playing hard. As a group, we found it difficult to bring the whole thing together and do simple things like harmonize while playing our respective instruments. Another difficulty would be finding time to practice with our otherwise busy schedules... However, we all enjoyed this project a lot. Thanks Mr. Matthys!

Yay! We're done!
Alena:
So today we performed our Google project, and it went pretty well. I messed up a little on the last chord, so that was annoying, but otherwise it was fine. This project was difficult because i had to relearn the piano, which i haven't played since sixth grade. Also, getting the piano and guitars to play together was difficult. I have new respect for the people who play the piano and sing at the same time. Wow. It was hard enough as is without singing. Overall, it was really fun.

Finished.Over.Done and out.
Well, we did it. The performance was pretty good considering. There wasn't any harmonizing due to Alena's and my lack of talent. Elise's voice was beautiful and Alena's playing was flawless until the last note...and my guitar playing could have been better but I played the first and last chords and that's all that really matters. I got a couple in between but, performance jitters, what can I say.
It was a great experience. The whole team building thing I didn't really notice but now that I think back, we all played different roles in how the song would be played. I don't think all of us agreed with all decisions but we went with them anyway. Being open-minded definitely helps.
I really enjoyed the project and it was a great way to spend time doing something that would take a very low standard in my normal life. I rarely play the guitar and Alena never plays the piano so getting back to it was something that was special and fun.
Thanks Alena and Elise for such a wonderful time!!
