4H Leisure & Performing Arts Demonstration in Citrus County Feb. 22nd, 2020.

This is Mariah Elizabeth Grace‘s first time presenting in a 4H event!

Mariah Harris ~ 4H Performing Arts Demonstration

This was a special time for Mariah and I during her first year participating in any 4H Events. She had always been involved in the Girl Scouts, so everything 4H is new to her. This was a DEMO her explaining how she practices her lessons for her CLASSICAL GUITAR. She doesn’t have enough opportunities to show and tell and do PUBLIC SPEAKING, so this 4H Demonstration was perfect for her to polish her ‘act.’

Mariah showed the two Judges the FINGER PATTERNS of Tuka-Tuka-Pa-Pa & Up-Pony-Down-Pony as her Demo. Learning CLASSICAL GUITAR is more than learning the CHORDS, NOTES & STRUMMING. It’s all about the FINGER PATTERNS.

The two Judges usually asked the others that did previous demonstrations a few questions. Mariah finished her session and waited, for their questions, there were none….she was waiting for at least one question. I told her later that they were so surprised and shocked at how good she was that they. didn’t. know what to stay to her. We laughed big on that and enjoyed her accomplishment!

Mariah has a sweet sound to her practice once she gets into it. It’s nice for the listener that is nearby to have the pleasure of hearing her play.

She plays like an Angel!
