Taking up an instrument is a tedious chore. But for junior Rob Grocock, it's . . . A NOTEWORTHY FORTE 1 right, play that one ' ' more time. No, no, no! That's too ad- vanced for you. Let's try 'Mary Had a Little Lamb'!'’ Anyone who has ever taken music lessons knows the frustration of learning to play an instrument. Ju- nior Rob Grocock, however, is one student who has stuck to his music for nine years. When Rob was very young, his mother realized he had a natural in- clination for music. Rob was really interested in his toy musical instru- ments. Also, he would recognize cer- tain songs on the radio and respond to them. She encouraged him to take violin lessons when he was in second grade. He quickly mastered the vio- lin and played in the Oak Grove School District Honor Orchestra. But by fourth grade he had to quit be- cause Proposition 13 eliminated the school orchestra program. So Rob set aside his violin and took up the clarinet. Soon after, he started playing the tenor saxophone in the stage band at Bernal Junior High. In ninth grade, Rob became the leader of the S.T. band's clarinet sec- tion and managed to take up the pi- ano at the same time. Currently, he is the drum major of the marching band, which involves conducting the band and assisting the students in addition to playing. Said band in- structor Mike Reed of Rob's musical abilities, He is a remarkably mature and talented young man. Music offers a release from ten- sions and everyday stress. It is a tal- ent that I enjoy and feel good about using, Rob explained, though he admitted, I'm lazy, and I don't enjoy practice. This is a definite obstruction in my growth as a musician. When I take lessons, I don't practice, but I honestly believe I play more when I don't take lessons! Although Rob wants to be in Jazz Band next year, he doesn't plan on majoring in fine arts or music. Never- theless, he plans on playing music for many years after high school. But keep your eye on those night- clubs, orchestras, bands, and Juliard ... because you never know! By Terri Lin. Huff and puff. Watching the action at the Silver Creek game. Rob puffs out Louie. Louie on the cfannet. He has been playing the clarinet for 5 years. “I never thought that all that practice would pay off,” he exclaimed. Mom was right! Photo by Tom Un. s Juniors [ TB3
