Maplewood Richmond Heights fourth-grader Sadie Tanner represented MRH on April 18 at the University of Missouri’s Creating Original Music Project, singing a song she wrote, accompanied by her father on guitar. Her song, Springtime, took second.
The purpose of the project is to encourage K-12 students in Missouri to write original music in a variety of musical styles, and then and to present the pieces to their schools and at a music festival at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Tanner’s father wasn’t at home when she sang her piece for 40 South News so she accompanied herself. Her mother, Kristin Tanner, said Sadie has been playing guitar about a month and a half.
Sadie’s song sounds like the real thing. I hope she continues to pursue her music, and congratulations to local girl making good.
WOW -what talent to write her own song, lyrics and music, and accompany herself with guitar she has only been playing less than 2 months! PROUD OF YOU SADIE PEARL. We look forward to hearing many more of those lovely songs.
Nice job Sadie! Congratulations. I love to hear these types of stories, spotlighting our students!
