Out Of All The Music Academy Short Story

Improved Essays

I told him that I was there 12 years ago. I mean they’re definitely more and better academies today. We passed by Oslo’s kaffebar before going to the academy. We sat down and I started talking about my journey in Master in Gesang. He showed many different expressions like being shocked. I also think he had lost some confidence.

I don’t want my son to loose his chance of becoming the best and having his name spread around the country. I think he has the abilities but needs to aim high and concenterate. Aki, do you think he would tell me if he had any obstacles? Let me hear from you soon!

I then told him that I didn’t mind what you have told me and thought you were a really lifeless person. He first thought of me in a really negative way. Yet, I then convinced him with many valid excuses. I mentioned being young and careless. At time, I only wanted to have as much friends as possible. I really thought that I would have fun when I have lots of people surrounding me. I even made fun of people who work hard and put so much effort in the academy. I thought it was pathetic and was all a waste of

No one can honestly say they have gone a few hours without thinking about, humming, whistling, singing, or even playing a song. Yes, drumming your pencil or pen against anything counts. Why would society deny their children the amazing opportunity to learn something this special?…
