I believe that my purpose as a performing musician is to express emotions and convey those to my audience through my own portrayal of the music, as well as to give the audience a proper representation of the composer's wisdom of their own genius. Performing is never what I can get from the audience, but always what I can give. I hope and pray that I can inspire others with the passion and love I have for my instruments, as well as help others in the future as a performer, teacher, and music therapist.
