Sequim daughter's essay wins her dad a free flight on a B-17
PORT ANGELES — A Sequim dad, described as “all-around amazing” by his 10-year-old daughter, will fly for free on a B-17 after three World War II-era war birds arrive in Port Angeles on Monday.Claire Henninger, the middle child of seven, won an essay contest for a father-child flight aboard a B-17 Flying Fortress that was sponsored by Wings of Freedom stop coordinator Alan Barnard and Ruddell Auto Mall owner Howie Ruddell.
Claire and her dad, Ray, a physical therapist, will be among the sponsors and guests treated to a complementary noon flight on the iconic aircraft.
“She described all of the things that all of us fathers would want to be,” said Ruddell, who gave up his seat as a sponsor of the Port Angeles stopover to give a dad a chance to read a heartfelt letter from his child and get a 30-minute ride on the vintage plane.
The B-17, along with a B-24 Liberator and a P-51 Mustang, will land at William R. Fairchild International Airport on Monday for a three-day stopover of the Collings Foundation's Wings of Freedom tour.
Told Saturday
Claire's mom, Ann Marie, said her daughter and husband were told about the contest results Saturday, the day before Father's Day.
“Claire was disbelieving, and her eyes got very big,” said Ann Marie, who described herself as a “nurse by training and homemaker by vocation.”
“Ray was the same, and he said, ‘I think I‘m going to cry,'” she said.
Said Ray: “She was ear-to-ear smiles.
“I got a big hug, and I was ear-to-ear smiles.”
Claire said her mother told her about the contest.
“She saw it in the paper [the Peninsula Daily News]. It would be a great Father's Day gift,” Claire said.
In her essay, Claire — who is home-schooled along with siblings Ean, 19; Erin, 16; Kate, 13; Aidan, 8; Jack, 5; and Joseph, 3 — listed several examples of her father's virtues before concluding:
“I love my dad because he is brave, admirable, humble, self-giving, calm, strong, honorable, protective, kind, generous and all-around amazing.
‘Deserves the best'
“He deserves the best because he is the best,” she wrote.
The Henningers, who have lived in Sequim since 1996, also have recently renewed their foster parents' license.

Ear Training for Guitar Players | Vocal Lessons
There are many approaches to ear training. Some are more boring than others and some are more productive than others. It’s my goal in this article to provide you with several ways that you can practice you ear training and maximize your ability as a musician.
One way to practice ear training is with a partner. One of you should have a guitar and one of you should be sitting somewhere where you can hear the guitar but you can’t see the fretboard. Have the guitarist first play different intervals. It’s important to learn to hear intervals because they’re the basic building blocks of all music. It may be easier to start with only 2 to 3 intervals. For example, the guitarist will play major 3rds, perfect fifths, and minor seconds in a random order. The listener will call out the intervals. When the degree of accuracy reaches 80% or higher, add another interval (perfect 4th, minor 3rd whatever…) Next, the guitarist can play chords. For these, the listener should focus on chord quality (major, minor, augmented, diminished).
You can also practice ear training alone. There are several ways to do this. First, you can record random intervals onto a tape and then play them back and figure them out. There are also some great sites on the web that will generate intervals for you and then give you the correct answer. Just search “interval trainer” in google. But there is one method that’s far superior to all of the above methods. I’ve been saving the best for last, but believe me that if you do what I’m about to say, you’ll develop astounding ears.
My recommended method is to… TRANSCRIBE!! That is right, learn the music of your idols by ear. I can’t stress the benefits of this practice enough. Some teachers will tell you to write out the songs as you learn them. Do not do this! Just memorize how to play the song. This is much more valuable to you in the long run, and if you know how to play it, you can always write it down later if you need to. In the end, if the song is slow, you may be able to do this without help. Even so, if the song is faster, I would recommend using software such as Riffmaster Pro that can help you slow the song down. This is a great way to learn music. WARNING! This may be frustrating to begin with. Stick with it though! I guarantee that you’ll get better. The more you do it, the better you’ll get. Just think of all the great music you’ll be learning too. This is hands down the best way to learn ear training for guitar. Many of the pros used this as their only learning method. Trust me! You’ll be a better player.
