I play eight instruments at the moment (piano, clarinet, alto clarinet, bari saxophone, flute, mellophone, cello, and tuba), and I am energetic to learn more. I am in my school’s symphonic band, jazz band, pit orchestra band, and pep band, and I am also in my church’s youth instrumental ensemble along with two honors bands: The Youth Wind Orchestra of Wisconsin and the Moraine Symphonic Band, along with being a fill-in bari-sax performer in the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra for a month. I have been taking piano lessons for 9 years, and I currently study clarinet with Todd Levy. Teaching private lessons is also a passion of mine, as I have 9 piano students. This fall, I plan on attending Carroll University to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education. Following Carroll, I hope to attend a music school out of state to receive a Master's Degree in Music Performance. My career goal is to perform in New York and settle into a high school band director job in Wisconsin.
