MUSIC
I have been playing piano since age 5, and played the drums from ages 8 to 13. I've always been very musically inclined, and though I plan to play for the rest of my life, I believe it brings me too much joy to make a career of it.
I have performed for others on both piano and drums, but I did so only because I enjoyed performing (and still do!) Although I don't play drums anymore, it was terrific fun while it lasted, and 11 y/o me in the drumming video was having the time of her life.
I believe that there is some measure of beauty in all music so there's nothing I won't listen to at least a few times, though my favorite kind of music is classical. This isn't limited to Classical era music and I in fact prefer Romantic era to Classical, with Baroque era being my least favorite. I've written a few songs myself, my latest being a waltz by the name of The Sparrow's Waltz; its tune is meant to be reminiscent of the flight patterns of small birds.
