Violin
As today was my last lesson before Christmas, my teacher and I decided to play classic Polish carols, including "Przybieżeli do Betlejem" and "Bóg się rodzi".
I was surprised at how easy to play carols were for me, as all times that I have played them before I recall them as hard and tricky. This time, however, we managed to do three of them in one lesson, which is showing how non-problematic they were for me.
With these pieces, I am planning on performing in front of my family on Christmas Eve and giving it a proper musical atmosphere.
Unfortunately, this lesson like the ones before had to take place online, because of covid and public transport complications. I hope we will get back to having meetings face to face really soon.

Amnesty International
This Amnesty Meeting was purely organizational. We summed up the Letter Writing Marathon that took place last weekend at our school, where we argued for freedom and justice for people whose rights are being broken.
We also summarized the entirety of what we have been talking about and why, as Christmas is coming and it is our last meeting this month, and even calendar year.

Violin
This was the first lesson in December, and to get into the December, Winter, and Christmas spirit, I learned how to play Jingle Bells.
To properly warm up, I began, of course, by playing a scale, A major, in which the song is set.
I also did a few finger exercises to further improve my finger work.
I love playing violin and I am glad that I keep having lessons to improve that skill, even if it is just a hobby.
