Summary
Throughout my years of playing viola and being around music instruments, I've come to appreciate how much I enjoy music and incorporated it into my life. Whilst I don't plan on majoring in music, I do plan on continuing playing throughout college. Since I first started off playing in 2017, Blackerby has been the shop I visited, From buying my first block of rosin 5 years ago to purchasing my first viola in 2022. I'm acquainted with the employees and for several months took private lessons with the Violist Gerald Liu. I think it would be a fun experience working at a job surrounded by instruments and people who are also interested in music as well, and regardless, I still plan on going to Blackerby for my instrument needs.
