Music Experience

Played the trumpet for 9 years. Selected for District Band multiple years in a row. Backup for All State Jazz Band. Played in high level bands, ensembles, and took lessons from multiple professionals.

Very involved with the trumpet. Played for 9 years at a high level in the top bands. Played in concert bands, orchestra, marching band, jazz band and more. Also was a part of high level ensembles outside of school like Virginia Winds Academy and Young Patriots Ensemble.

Had professional private tutoring for 6 years. Practiced multiple hours a day for years. Considered majoring in music education before deciding to pursue Computer Science and now Information Technology.

Played drums for 2 years, the baritone, and even the bass trumpet. Yes, the bass trumpet is a thing. I even made a video about it.

The bass trumpet is actually a real instrument. My private teacher was kind enough to let me learn it for over a month.
