In this class, \u00a0projects and tests involve demostrating musical talents and abilities. Junior \u00a0Alex Wilson demostrated \u00a0his talent of playing an unusual instrument called an ocarina.<\/p>\n

“I first learned about the acrena from the game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/em>,” said Wilson, ” and since then I have been playing it for about a year and a half now.”<\/p>\n

An Ocarina consists of an oval shaped ceramic pod with sound holes. \u00a0There are different types and sizes of ocarinas used for different types of music.<\/p>\n

“There really isn’t a future with ocarina playing,” says Wilson, “However, I feel that this definitely won’t be my last ocarina. \u00a0I really want to save up and buy a few with different keys so I can have a larger range on song choice.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Alex Wilson has been a member of the Searcy High School band, jazz band, and he has taken many musical related classes.<\/p>\n

“I really have a love for music and I try to stand out by learning things people usually wouldn’t learn,” said Wilson, “hopefully in the future I can look back and know that I made an impact on people through my music playing abilities.”<\/p>\n
