Reason I Chose My Major

Music has been important throughout my entire life. I have realized that it brings people together no matter their age, sex, religion, or race. I want to give each student that I teach a place where they can feel like they belong and are welcome.

I Am Passionate About

Music education. Especially advocating for children who are deprived of it via their school due to budget cuts, parental pressure to avoid the arts, living in a low-economic areas, or simply not being able to afford the materials for it. As Plato said, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.”
