Day 4 – Lessons
I played piano as a kid for a few years, then switched to playing trombone for 6 years in marching and jazz band, so I was excited to see this music store on Main St., knowing that private lessons would be going on inside. The owner was very cooperative, and introduced me to teacher Roddy Jackson, who was also very helpful. Kaleigh Navares, who studies flute with him, also consented. The lighting was decent, but the room was very small. I worked a couple of different compositions, including tight on her hands and some closeup on her face. I’m not crazy about those compositions, liking their interactions better, as well as the similar lines of their flutes.
p.s. Do I have to pick just one photo?
Kaleigh Navares, having just come from taekwando class down the street, studies flute with Roddy Jackson every Thursday at Gottschalk Music Center in downtown Merced. Jackson teaches all wind instruments, from the flute to the tuba, and the most natural wind instrument of all, voice.
Hello, I am Kaleigh. The one you did the study on.
Thank you for doing this, it’s very cool to see myself on the internet. 
I also play the alto saxaphone, and thanks to Roddy, I learned even more. It’s amazing being in band and playing those two instruments. So, thank you.
You’re welcome! I loved playing trombone in marching band and jazz band. Enjoy!
Yes, it’s so cool to be on the internet. I’m still in band, and I play the alto saxaphone full time now, I still get out my flute and play it, but switched to alto so it could help me get in jazz and I am in jazz for next year.
<3 My best friend Ali plays the bass clarinet but she doesn't have time for band any more. 
So thank you!
