April was National Poetry Month, so Wren has been writing a lot of poetry for school. She was assigned a “recipe poem” recently, and we wanted to share it!
Musicians
1 cup of Happiness
2 ¼ cups of Concentration
Sprinkle of Joy
1 pint of Belief
1 ½ cup of Precision
Strength
Strive
Frustration
Clear moments
Breakthrough moments
Musician
Instrument
Directions: mix the Musician and instrument in strength. Next, pour in belief and precision. Stir it well with a pinch of frustration. In a separate bowl, put in Clear and Breakthrough moments. Pour that into happiness. Serve with joy on top. By Wren Page
Wren has been composing for several years with her Nonnie! Last summer she took a composition class at one of her music camps, and now she’s writing all the time. In September, she wrote a composition for a school competition (PTA reflections). The composition made it all the way to State. That ceremony and celebration would have been yesterday, so this post is my way of celebrating her! Here is a video of her performing her composition, Courage, with her school orchestra teacher.
In addition to “writing”, she also loves to improvise with her cello. The “hymns” of comfort tonight are a couple of improvisation sessions from this afternoon. We hope you enjoy!
Proud of you Wren. God has gifted you as a musician and composer. May you glorify Him through this gift of music
How extraordinary! I love the poem; I love the winning composition and I LOVE the improvisations! What a girl! She offers such comfort! Thank you, sweet girl.
