Comparison

While volunteering at Fox Lake Farms. I began to notice how the work I did was just like practicing music, but with more physical labor. Keeping in time and going at a steady pace to avoid messing up in music, can be like shoveling manure out of a stall. Rushing to finish and get the manure out quickly would lead to large amounts of unnecessary dirt being put in with the manure, like rushing notes would lead to others struggling to keep up and then messing up. Doing the same jobs is like practicing same measures in a music piece. Both can be annoying, challenging, or easy to do. Like practicing a tricky measure, doing some of the work required patience and effort to get through it. When it comes to giving the work, the owners are like conductors; telling people where to start working and helping them do their job right.
