Music - Narrative

Walt: 1. write a narrative
        2. write in paragraphs.

Some children from room 11 were practising an item for the next assembly. Tainah, Clearissa, Alisi, Claudia, Crystal and I were the ones that had been chosen. We practised in the music room all week for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Friday came and we were all ready. During morning tea and lunch we all practised to see if we were alright. So we went into the music room and practised. Lunch passed. Claudia and Crystal were the singers. Tainah played the guitar, Clearissa played the violin and I played the piano with the help of Alisi. Claudia and Crystal were preparing their voices while Tainah was tuning out the guitar. Alisi and I practised our notes on the piano.

“Only 15 minutes to go” Mrs Ramkolowan shouted.
“Are you guys shy” asked Claudia, with a low tone.
“Theres no reason to be shy” replied Crystal. So Claudia carried on doing her own thing while the girls cleaned up themselves. 3 minutes left on the clock. I had never felt so alive. Everyone but Claudia had the guts to go up on stage and to perform in front of everyone. Finally we were called up to perform.

We all went up on the stage as group. We went into our positions and got ourselves ready. Tainah began to play the guitar. Then Alisi and I followed in with the piano. Then Clear started to play the violin. 4 seconds later Crystal and Claudia began to sing. No one could here Claudia sing. Crystal couldn't hear Claudia as well.
“I’m too shy” whispered Claudia, in Crystal’s ear.
“I don’t know what to do” Claudia replied in a sad voice.

People were staring at Claudia. They were talking about her and also laughing at her. So she started to get upset. Tainah went over to her and encouraged her to sing. So Tainah hugged Claudia. She started to sing. Then everyone, including the teachers cheered for her. We all carried on playing the instruments. Our item had finished moments later and the singers bowed to their feet. Everyone bounced with excitement. Claudia was brave and happy.

After assembly we all gathered as a group. Mrs Ramkolowan was proud of us, but she was mostly proud of Claudia. All of us hugged and laughed.
“This is the coolest afternoon ever” jumped Claudia.

Theme: Not to be shy.
