In the woodwind family, the flute is a soprano instrument. In the lower register, it has a smooth and warm tone that can become clearer, brighter and piercing in the higher register. The flute, is the oldest woodwind instrument. There were two ways to play the flute in the early days: Vertically, like a recorder, or horizontally, in what was known as the transverse position . When I play the flute, I have a lot of difficulty. The fingerings come first, followed by the breathing. It was difficult for me to learn to play the flute at first because I didn't know how to identify the notes, but as my teacher explained how to do so, it became much easier for me. I put in a lot of work to have a good result when playing the flute, and I'm happy with the outcomes. Although it isn't perfect, and I continue to make errors, I am at least learning from my mistakes. Playing the flute has taught me patience, hard work, and the importance of learning from your mistakes.
Itik-itik is a mimetic folk dance in The Philippines. It originated in the province of Surigao in Mindanao. In Itik-itik (from the Tagalog word for "duck"), the dance steps imitate the movements of ducks among rice paddies and swamplands, such as wading, flying, and short, choppy steps. I put in a lot of time and effort to perfect my dancing. My loving mother assisted me in filming me performing the dance. The foot steps are difficult for me, but I am delighted I completed them successfully. I performed the dance while wearing a balintawak dress. As a Pilipino, I'm very delighted that I've re-learned how to dance a Philippine traditional dance.
