Over the last four years, I have participated in District, State, and National Choirs, my high school's musicals, as well as my own personal repertoire with a private teacher. Thanks to all of these opportunities and more, I have developed three main musical values, including personal improvement, professionalism, and connection. Since I am still a young musician, I know that there is a lot left for me to learn. While the thought can be daunting, I enjoy taking the time to solidify my knowledge in the practice rooms or by looking up more information online. Another thing that I try to keep up with is professionalism. Throughout my education, I have always done my best to get any work assigned to me done on time, keep up with long-term projects, and communicating with peers or professors whenever I am struggling. These practices have greatly helped me make the most of my education, and I plan to continue them going forward. Finally, I hope to create a connection with the music I perform. I find nothing more rewarding than being able to express a piece in a way that an audience both understands and enjoys, and I want to do my best to consistently deliver performances like this.
