During this trip, we had a practical exam at Cite Soleil. Students played solo music that they’d been practicing, and each ensemble team played chamber music.
We listened to all the music with teachers at Cite Soleil and awarded a gift to the student who played the best. It was a great opportunity for students to show their performance, and it was a great time for us to see how they have been practicing.
The exam was held for over two hours, and all the students showed their best. We were thankful to see student’s improved performance level, and it was a great time to give feedback to teachers.
As a gift for the students, we went to a beach the day after the exam. We rented a bus and drove over an hour and a half to see a clean and beautiful beach.
Students were so excited, and all the teachers and students got together as they swam, played with sand, and played soccer.
We grilled sausages and made sausage sandwiches for them.
Students at Cite Soleil are giving their best to practice their instruments. We are so thankful to see students playing music during this hard time.
