So what is it about a piano that interests me so, and why is it an important instrument. Well the piano has had many composers come and go, and leave music behind for this magical instrument. But at the same time I look at the piano keys and realize that there is nothing but unity of black and white that makes a perfect sounding noise when it comes out. Our world today should come together like the piano keys so that every color may mix and create perfect unity. the keys in my life have been roads that I have had to choose to survive and achieve the final say in my life. The piano isn't just an instrument in my eyes it is an extension of who i am. I am no expert in anything, but I am an expert at a piano. I do not intend to overtake, but i do want to appreciate the musical world. I want to show that the piano is me in a musical form, and a form to inspire people to destroy fascism, and discrimination. And come together as one to make sweet harmony.

The bassoon has really been the thing that I would say opened my eyes. I was a pretty careless musician before I got serious about it. Most of my time was spent playing something I liked because I could play it. The bassoon chalanged me to not only expand my musical taste, but also realize the little simple things that impact playing that make a great player in difference to the average player. The bassoon I believe is similar to my voice in which I also express musically. There are many similarities between both and the lines given in tenor music and bassoon music have similarities as well as almost the same voice. Playing bassoon has inspired me to strive to be the best musician I can be, it has changed how I view music, and it has inspired me to inspire others through the wonders of music.
