Would you like to hear some music today? 🎵 🎶
Who would have thought that vibrating air waves in a particular way could become such a part of someone's life. Put this movement to a certain time and rhythm is created, and add a rule and harmony is created. Music has become a larger part of my life than I had expected. Growing up, we had a grand piano in our house. I never had any interest in learning how to play it. It was not until I was 10 years old that I picked up my first instrument. Both my parents required my siblings and I to spend at least 3 years studying music. I chose the viola, and hated it. My sister stopped immediately after the necessary time. My brother played the violin for 6 years. But something interesting happened to me. I wanted to quit each year, but after each concert I always made the decision to continue; I played for 9 years. During that time my skills grew, the orchestra grew, and I grew. I was performing with an ensemble over foreign waters, on an international stage. For a teenager, music brought experiences to me that I would have never predicted when I first picked up my instrument as a kid. Who would have thought that vibrating air waves in this particular way would become such a big part of my life. How has music changed yours?
This is one of my favorite pieces, feel free to listen if you like by simply pressing the play button.
