Sophie Agnew 5GF - Singing Sensation

Grant Forman —

Today from the 'Amazingly talented Student' department at Oaklands we interview the awesome Sophie Agnew

Q: Sophie, Can you tell us about your amazing ability?

--> I enjoy singing. Recently my singing teacher, Andrea, started the Christchurch Girls Choir, which is a choir for girls aged from 10 - 15 years old. She recommended I audition. So I did.


Q: Sophie, tell us about this audition.

--> The audition was held in town on a Wednesday. There were many girls auditioning. I felt quite nervous because I was unsure as to whether I would get in or not.


Q: So, how did it go?

--> On the Friday after the audition I was doing my singing lesson at school with Andrea. I asked her if I made it, and she said, 'YES'.

I felt elated and a little bit relieved.

Four other Oaklands girls auditioned and they also were selected.


Q: So what now?

Every Wednesday from 4:30 -7:00pm I attend choir practise and I also have 30 minutes of music theory.


Q: When do you perform?

I am not sure yet, but I will definitely let you know.


Q: What advice do you have for a student who is keen on singing?

If there are lessons or competitions available, go for it, even if you are a little nervous, because you never know, you might get in , even if you think you won't.

Try your hardest.


Q: Will we see you on 'X Factor' or on stage at a concert?

Maybe, We'll see
