Sounds of Thunderstorms and Rain
I decided to play a song called “Aretta’s Rhumba “by Eric Baumgartner, and I really enjoyed learning and playing this piece. This song, most likely due to the heavy sounds it created, reminded me of rain/thunderstorms. More specifically, it would remind me of staying inside and relaxing while it was raining/thundering outside, which is something I really love doing.
While learning this piece, there were definitely spots that were easy for me to learn, and ones that took some more time and practice to solidify. One spot in particular that was tricky for me was measures 25–30, but with practice it got easier. Regardless, I had a lot of fun learning this piece. It’s one of my favorites that I’ve played recently, and I enjoyed performing it at various festivals and competitions I participated in.
