Congratulations Mango! This is so awesome!!! You did so well!!! My 11 year old boy signed up for his first classical guitar competition next month, he has been practicing hard. I told him the same thing, enjoy the experience and do your best, the result doesn't matter as you will definitely improve. Music is great for kids, it really teaches them discipline and how to work hard toward a goal. My kid started guitar at 5 and cello at 10, enjoys both instruments. Practice time is time way from computer games :)
