Golda has been practicing for Solo and Ensemble, and I was lucky enough to get to watch. It's a long song, but the more exciting parts are at the middle and end, so maybe skip ahead if you want to see Golda's performance. She said she was nervous and couldn't breathe, which probably doesn't help when you're playing a woodwind instrument! Golda and I watched the video after and broke it down to see what was good and what can be improved for the upcoming flute Federation, which is EVER so much more intimidating than solo and ensemble. Last year was the year of the Federation Migraine, so this year, Golda plans on nailing her pieces to make up for last year's bad experience. Here's what all the practicing is for: A Bolero by Emile Pessard. (Not to be confused with Ravel's famous Bolero) Notice our fabulous accompanist, Jennifer! Thank you, thank you.

Go Golda! You are amazing!
What a pleasure to work with such a fine, polished young musician.
By the way, the camera angle from 2:48-3:09 is definitely the best!
Gorgeous! Beautiful Golda! Beautiful music!
I loved it.

Wow Golda! Talk about power. I would still be out of breath. You are so talented and I'm so proud of you. What a great accomplishment.
Incredible! All that hard work has produced such a gorgeous sound, Golda. Josh and I were dancing in the kitchen to your Bolero. And you look so beautiful, too! Your hair, skirt and posture were part of your perfect performance. (too shallow?) Jennifer, was also amazing, that didn't sound like an easy piano accompaniment. Golda, mom and Jennifer.... you made my day!! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Golda!! Esmae & Abe loved it too :)!
