Instruments: Drums Music

This is VERY FUN. In my experience, students who reach this level of rhythmic awareness excel in other areas of music, including music production, audio editing and Sound Design.

While in grade school, I also took a liking to local music scenes and other musical endeavors outside of the academic environment and began to glean from those influences as well. Upon graduating high school, I was accepted into the University of North Florida to play euphonium. My freshman year I performed with UNF's top Wind Ensemble at Carnegie Hall.
