  1. Jenna, you have worked hard to keep a blog of all of your rehearsals. Try to be more descriptive and make longer complete sentences. On the 21st of March, you stated that you were "focusing hard on what we need to do". What did you need to do? Who are you harmonizing with? How will you practise harmonizing with them?
