I Was Born!
On February 20th 1998, I was born at Elmhurst Memorial Hospital at 1 or 2 a.m. Or maybe it was p.m. I don't know I'm a bit fuzzy on that part. :/ -
Period: to
Preschool Through Early Middle School
It was during this tme that I made some life long friends and some enemies. That period of time was okay I guess, but it's ussually off limits when strolling down memory lane, just because nothing really big happenes during this period. -
I Start Clarinet (Oooooohhhh Yeah!)
At the start of 4th Grade I began playing clarinet. I didn't do so well when I tried percussion so I chose clarinet instead, because Squidward plays clarinet. To be honest, majority of begginning clarinet players choose that instrument for the same reason. -
I Started Taking Lessons With (Clarinetist Staff Sergeant) Meaghan Kawaller
In 7th grade I was in search of a clarinet teacher, mainly because the two teachers I had before weren't very good at all. It was when I met Megan that I learned what it meant to get your ass kicked into shape. It was a long process and I no longer take lessons with her since she joined the Marine Band, but I still credit her with most of my development as a musician. -
I Made ILMEA All State
Making ILMEA All State is not an easy task, and frankly, I didn't believe that I got in mself. ILMEA is a state event in which students all throughout the state of Illinois compete to be one of the few to make it into one of the ensembles there. Me and 12 or so York students made it and we made a lot of good memories there. -
IWU Composition Institute
This past summer, I attented the music composition institute at Illinois Wesleyan University. I wasn't sure what to expect, but when I got there and opened up to people there, I made so many friends. I wote an original piece for flute, cello, and piano, which people loved. My experience there helped me make IWU my number one choice for college. -
Concerto
I'm working on a clarinet concerto for the York COncerto Competition and hopefully I'm selected, because it would be awesome to perform infront of a croud as a soloist. -
Make It Into The College Of My Choice
A short term goal for me is to make it into a college of my choice. The process is stressful, so it would be nice to make it into a college I want to go to. -
Take A Road Trip WIth My Friends
As a last hoorah to this chapter of our livs, I think it would be cool for my friends and I to go on a road trip. It would be a good way to get in some last minute bonding before our lives go separate ways. -
Period: to
College
A long term goal I have is to attend a four year university to earn a bachelors degree in music composition. This goal is aimed to reach another goal: scoring films! My favorite kind of music is from film scores. Also I want to take piano lessons throughout college and be highly proficient by the time I leave. After earning my Bachelors degree in composition I want to find a one year program to earn my masters in music education, because music ed. is a career I'm also interested in. -
Period: to
Career
In this really long span of time, I'd like to have a fulfilling job, whether it be composing or teaching. After that long period of time, I think it would be time to retire. -
Period: to
Married and Kids?
Hopefully I'd be married and have kids somewhere in this time span.
