God Bless The USA Lyrics
By Lee Greenwood (1984)
If tomorrow all my things were gone,
I’d work for all my life
And I had start again
With just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars
To be livin’ here today,
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom
And they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today,
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land –
God bless the USA!
From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea,
From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to LA,
Well there’s pride in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say:
I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
Who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up
Next to you and defend her still today,
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land –
God bless the USA!
Perfect Practice Makes Perfect
Submitted by: Janet Scarry – Flute
No more hustle and bustle since the lockdown has given me more free time to do a lot of things, including practicing. So, I decided to get out a book I used to practice in roughly three years ago. The book is by Marcel Moyse and it has excellent practice drills. One of the things I like about it is, the same drill will be in different time signatures. I highly recommend it. Everyone be safe and stay healthy.

Solo Studio is Postponed Until Further Notice
Thursday Solo Studio with Jaime, is postponed until further notice.
Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony with body percussion
The score of the symphony was adapted by the school music teacher Nelly Guilhemsans and the rehearsals to achieve this wonderful performance were carried out over 5 months, almost every day, during the 2020 school term.
The students through clapping, footsteps, snapping fingers, slapping their bodies and the bodies of the other students, achieved a mind-blowing demonstration of synchronization.
Everything was captured by the camera of a drone in the gardens of Arnaga, in front of the house that belonged to the French neo-romantic poet Edmond Rostand.
