Family of 12🗽❤️ Juilliard Day in the Life (by Pearl!) 🌱

  • Our family of 12 moved to NYC so the kids could experience the robust opportunities to study classical music that this city offers. 3 of our children attend Juilliard. (One college, two pre-college) and 3 more of our children are auditioning for the program in person next week. In this video I explain the context of our children's experience in the school and then Pearl shows footage from two separate days at Juilliard. (One during the semester and one during finals week.) Also my daughter Naomi (she is 14 and is one of the students attending the pre-college program) gave me some footage she took of the pre-college program. I'm amazed by how the children are all growing so much! Even those that don't attend the school are blessed to take lessons with teachers that are associated with the school. (I show some footage from a couple of Anna''s cello lesson days at Juilliard.). This Journey has been a bit scary for me. But I see how the children have bloomed here and I am truly amazed! I know God will take care of the rest. #largefamilylife #nyc #dayinthelife

    This was brilliant. Ten years ago I was in NYC and we went into the Julliard bookshop. That was as far as we got!! Pearl, you are super talented and the viola is such a beautiful instrument with a rich and mature sound. You complement it beautifully. Thank you for taking us with you, for me who was a music teacher, it was super interesting. And thank you to your friends for saying Hi too!

    Both Pearl and Josiah are wonderful examples to their younger siblings! The little ones get to see and experience first hand, how hard work and dedication can also earn them a spot at a prestigious music college.
    Please showcase Pearl’s sewing creations and any school projects that the kids excel in.

    Hi!
    It's so interesting watching this video! I am not a musician, but took music history class this semester at the university and enjoyed learning about music so much! I have a question - how did you teach your kids how to prepare for exams and how not to be stressed out since they have homeschooling? Pearl is all smiley and relaxed and her skin is flawless❤

    • @TheHappyCaravan
      @TheHappyCaravan  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! I think tests are always a little nerve wracking. We did take some tests in homeschool too. But also the kids often participated in music competitions which are also really intense because like a test you have to have everything memorized, but it’s also sort of like a spelling bee because you are on stage.
