My senior capstone project is an audio recording of myself playing "What a Wonderful World", a song by Louis Armstrong, using my piano and tenor saxophone skills. I also used GarageBand to record my piano and sax to demonstrate that I know how to record audio by parts. The reason why I chose this song is because the first few seconds of "What A Wonderful World" was the opening to my sophomore show in marching band, titled: What A Wonderful World. That show meant a lot to me. I also made the audio file into somewhat of a slideshow showing a small look into my high school experience from freshman to senior year. I did this because I've always loved school and I know I'm going to miss it, so I incorporated myself and my journey all in one video.
This is why I chose the song. Shoutout to this show it was super fun!

My piano teacher wanted to make a social media post about me, saying I got accepted into the U of A School of Music because she's cool like that. Anyways- I ended up really liking a few of the photos, so I decided to put it here on my website.
