My hobbies are: Playing soccer and playing percussion (the drums, the xylophone and tambourine too). I play soccer twice a week on Monday and Friday. I study music in the local conservatory, and I have music lessons four days a week: on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I play in the Petach-Tikva youth orchestra. We perform both throughout Israel and abroad. This year we are supposed to perform either in Russia or in Vienna. I am very excited about this because it's going to be the first time I travel abroad with the orchestra, and I'm looking forward to this special trip. Last year the Youth Orchestra visited Percy Julian School in Oak Park while it was on a trip to the USA. You can enjoy their performance at Julian courtesy of the Global Dreamers site.
