2012-20132013MUSIC CLUB—RECORDING STUDIODays before the last club session, I began feeling extremely impatient for theClubs. I knew that we were going to visit a recording studio, in order to make ourown CD. I was a bit nervous, too, since I would be the one to play the piano forthe three songs we would record and I had to be totally prepared for this day.Our teachers helped us and trusted us throughout the academic year for the CD.It was an honour for me to play the piano.When the day came, I was delighted and prepared for this experience. We arrivedat the recording studio, where the sound engineer and the owner waited forus. We immediately started recording beginning with me. I played the songs verywell and, of course, the other children were amazing. We all co-operated togetherto finish the recording in time. At one point, we believed that we wouldn’t manageto finish, since we were working too slow. However, we worked very hard totry and achieve the creation of our CD and we caught up. Even though this daywas tiring and exhausting, it was one of the best days I’ve ever had and it willremain as an unforgettable and extraordinary experience in my memory.Anna Hadjinicolaou3ACHARITY CLUBThe Charity Club at PASCAL English School has once again proved that our youth are always willing andready to offer altruistic help.
