Since I can remember, my imagination has always inspired me to express myself creatively. My mom frequently likes to remind me of a story where, as a little boy, I finished my first diorama project before she could even help. There is no doubt that music has become my life long diorama project. Of all the great things life has to offer, music has connected with me the most. It has become a mental and physical outlet for me to utilize my creative potential and a place where it’s okay to push the boundaries as far as they can go. From elementary ensemble classes to my newly acquired knowledge from the Musicians Institute, I have always been and will continue to be a puppet of my imagination. I am thankful for music being such a valuable aspect of my life.
