My first instrument was trombone. It wasn’t my choice – it was the only thing left because i started the school year late. It wasn’t my favorite but I was still excited to have any instrument and become part of a banc and making music with others. I played it through middle and high school and eventually joined my first band, Future Shock, and played for several years in local clubs and other events throughout the Bay Area.  I eventually moved on to other instruments and developed an appreciation and love for the sound each instrument. My favorite two eventually became piano and guitar.

 My recent scare with a broken finger has given me a deeper appreciation of the value of a musicians hands. Having to have a plate and screws inserted to keep my finger in place has caused me to really think deeply on which instrument I want to focus on going forward.
