My favorite teacher at my school is probably Cal. She is my vocal jazz teacher, and she always considers my opinions into my singing lessons. She shows me new artists every day and improves my techniques for the better.

What does your typical day look like?
My “Typical day,” is I would usually wake up around 5:30 to catch the train, where the bus picks me up. I have all my academic classes until 12:30, and all my arts classes start at 1:30 and they end at 4:30. if I’m leaving from school on time, I would get on the train, and be home around 5:45. Usually, I would need to stay later from school, with my other friends, which leads me to be home at around 7:45.
How much homework do you get and what does it look like?
I still get a regular amount of homework, if not, more. Considering I spend four hours on my arts Major, I get homework for Music too. Whether that is learning a new piece of Music, or clapping and counting beats on a paper, I still enjoy it. I have 75 minutes-three academic classes a day, meaning, we do get homework in every class.
