I made it to week two! I am so glad I chose to intern with Maria De La Paz at the Royal Academy of Performing Arts. As a result of being exposed to so much music throughout the past week, I have been very inspired to improve musically. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to play an instrument so that I can eventually write music that is entirely my own. I chose to start off with an instrument that is easy to learn and that best compliments my preferred style of singing; the Ukelele. I have learned how to play “You and I” by Ingrid Michaelson, and “I Don’t Know My Name” by Grace Vanderwaal. I have also assisted Maria in songwriting for two of her students. One of the songs was about math fractions and the other was a country song about young love. Here is a recording of the math song:

I will arrange a time to utilize the professional recording equipment so that I do not interfere with the singing lessons and songwriting sessions. I also would like to attempt to write an additional song on the Ukelele!
