Dear Jenny,
I’m happy to tell you my story with music.
My music experience sort of started when I was seven. It was my mother who started it. She gave me a CD of country music. I kept playing it. My mum says I was always dancing to it.
I love country music because the singers have got great voices. It’s very soft and relaxing. Finally, I decided I wanted to play the music, not just listen to it, so I saved up and bought a guitar. I taught myself to play it.
This year I played in my first music festival with my friends. We were playing at school, and people around us were dancing, and it was like my whole body was part of the music. It was the best thing I’ve ever done! So now I’ve decided that I want to be a music teacher. What about you
