Monday through Thursday, she practices the flute, the violin, and the piano, travel- ing and performing on weekends. Where does she find time to have fun? For Mi- caela, music is fun. KEYto THE 111 CLASSICS IL - I I -- CONCERTO IN G. Sitting up straight, Mi- caela perfects her audi- tion piece for the Music Guild. The piece is ten minutes long and must be memorized and played without error. It takes about three weeks to learn a piece this long if I practice ovory day. Photo by Suzanne Nelson. erhaps you're right. What's the big deal if she can play four, five, or even six instru- ments? Anybody can if they work at it. But who is willing to work hard enough to accept the chal- lenge? One person at Santa Teresa is. Micaela Gutierrez is a girl with high hopes and ambitions. She start- ed taking piano lessons from her mother when she was five years old and at six began taking real les- sons. Micaela played nothing but the pi- ano up until two years ago. During her seventh grade year she mastered three more instruments: the flute, the guitar (which she later decided to quit in order to concentrate on her other instruments), and the violin. If you're still not convinced that Micaela can really do anything, then how about this, in the eighth grade she not only won a hundred dollar scholarship to a jazz camp in Los An- geles, but also attended a solo and ensemble festival at the California Music Education Association. There she won an excellent” rating on her solo and a superior rating on a duet that she did with Heather Gi- linsky. That year she joined the San Jose Symphony (playing violin), and achieved concert master and first chair violinist at the Cal State Fuller- ton Jazz Festival. Why does she do it? One reason is her family's influence. Her older brother and sisters were into music. Now she plays and performs to satisfy her own personal feelings. One of the problems she encounters is find- ing the time to practice. She would like to keep studying and performing music, but surprisingly, she doesn't want to use her skills in a profession or career. Unlike many of her peers, she en- joys all forms of music. Nobody likes classical music anymore, it's a shame. Personally I feel that people just don't give it a chance. By Darin Walker. People 1 20£ 3 .
