My MIDI Experience
By Thyme, fifth grader
Ever since I’d heard the piece by Cecelia, I’d wanted to write music. I thought it was beautiful. I tried using my recorder (before I played the flute) to write music… The only problem was that I had to use a recorder ONLY, which doesn’t provide a great number of harmonies.
When I found out about the MIDI program, I joined immediately. It was hard finding a good tune at first, but it was still really fun! When we entered at the Opus 16 I got somewhat nervous; I thought for sure my piece wouldn’t be picked. (Though I knew I wouldn’t care since it was mostly fun just writing). But, my piece was chosen. It was great.
The concert was SO cool. I got to listen to the other pieces, and look forward to my own. Afterwards, I knew I would never forget it. I was happy for the fact that I had gotten to have such an experience. It would never have happened without MIDI.
