For my Peace Offering, I composed an original song inspired by the feelings created by this global pandemic and current political climate. The piece is titled Ambivalence, which roughly means "uncertainty" and "uncomforted", which is what many of us are experiencing during these difficult times.
I encourage people to take anywhere from 10 minuntes to an hour out of their day to either learn/practice an instrument or write a short song based on your thoughts and feelings. Music has a healing ability that everyone should be able to experience especially during times like these.
My name is Aidyn Connor and I am from Bethesda, Maryland, which is just outside of Washington, DC. I am in the BFA in Jazz Studies Program concentrating on Bass. I have been playing electric and upright bass for six years now, and I hope to make a career for myself as a musician. I believe that music is a great way to relieve stress, anxiety, and any negative thoughts whether it is through playing or writing. I hope everyone is able to benefit from my Peace Offering as I share my passion for music.
