A Concert Anyone?

Today I played in my hostmom's concert. She is a teacher at a music school and asked me if I wanted to play a song. It was a lot of fun. Those of you who have ever taken private music lessons know how these concerts go. The audience is only family members, everyone is super nervous even though they know pretty much everyone they are performing for, and there are always the little kids who don't play very well but everyone claps for them the hardest because they try so hard. However the one thing that was unlike any other small music concert I have ever seen were the accents. All of the songs except one were in English. And everyone sang them in thick German accents. It was a little hard to keep a straight face. It took a lot of strength not to laugh and listen as though I couldn't speak English and didn't know that you shouldn't say "I treamed a tream in zime gone by, vhen hope vas high and life vorse living" when singing "I Dreamed a Dream" However once you got past the accent they really all did a wonderful job and it was a lot of fun! I wish Sophia (my host sister) could have sang her song because she really has a beautiful voice, but she was sick. There will be another concert after the upcoming break and I think she is going to sing then. Maybe I will get to sing again as well, I really did have a blast!
