About Me

Its an about me page, WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!?

Music is my life.  It's what I live for, it's what I'm going to do with myself when I graduate.  I play in the top band at my college and in our orchestra, and I also sing in one of our many choirs.  It's an exciting and new experience.  I look forward to the next four years, but not the homework load that will come with them!  Most improtantly, I miss many of my friends, desperately!

Orchestra is my forte and interest.  I want to teach a high school orchestra one day. It really has become my dream to do that! :o)
