Another Composer in the Family


Zion decided to write a song for his friend, Alexandra (Alex) Smith! Her birthday party is today, so he has entitled it "The Party."As you can see, he used several reference materials and has done several copies before he got to the final draft. I did the staff lines on this copy because he was unhappy with his uneven ones...
I have to say, though, that he writes more neatly than many college music majors I know!!

It's good to know the Ballenger tradition continues! I tried to get a video of him playing the song, but he says "It's not finished yet" so I'm not allowed to tape him. I'll keep working on that!
