Description:
Here in Indiana, children are required to take a standardized test called the ISTEP test (Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress). My principal at our elementary school asked me to write a song about this test, encouraging children to do prepare well and do their best. (I am the music teacher at our school).

So I whipped up this little ditty.

I know how I would have reacted to this in 1970 - but I
wasn't a model student.
I like the sprightly feel, the melody. Your playing and singing
are very good, as is the recording.

I think I can discern a subtle message in here! Nice little song, I hope it helps motivate those kids.

Nice piano work and recording. I think it's great when you can use a song to motivate.
