Reviews of the reporter
Writer: Po-Yuan Yang, Magic Finger
I made some mistakes when I started to interview since I lacked of experience and didn't familiar with the questions. After practicing and getting teacher's advices, I did better and better. I still did something wrong because I was nervous. Now I understand more about the instruments of Children Orchestra.
