My study of music began with the piano in 2016, at age ten. In 2019 and '20, I participated in ETMTA's annual piano Achievement Auditions. I was one of a group of students selected to perform works by Chopin and Schubert in their honors recitals.I also began violin studies in 2020, having had a growing interest in the instrument for a long time. In 2021, I entered the East Texas Youth Orchestra, eventually being promoted to associate concertmaster. I also earned top positions in TMEA all-region orchestras in 2021, 2022, and 2023.I love playing the violin and piano dearly, and I perform classical music regularly in my area, often providing sacred music for liturgical functions, as well as performing classical music at various events like weddings and parties. I also love singing and am a cantor in my parish choir.
