Summary

In one way or another, music has always been a part of my life. I was introduced to the piano at age 3. My dad and I would listen to hours of Earth Wind and Fire on long drives. I was in my high school's marching band. These are only a few examples. Once I made the decision to pursue a degree in music, I realized that these aspects of music would fit together in a way that would change the course of my life. Practicing, listening to, and performing music has brought an unprecedented amount of positivity into my life. Going forward, I only wish to maximize these opportunities for myself so that I'm able to more effectively share these sentiments with others.
