Well I sang in middle school but I didn’t like it very much. I don’t know, it wasn’t very well put together. I think it’s better now but yeah, middle school I kind of did it off and on a little bit, and then I stuck with it in high school so…

Did you sing before that at all?

Do you participate in any music programs outside of school?

 I did the musical freshman and junior. They canceled it sophomore year so I was in, uh no, they canceled it freshman year so I did sophomore and junior year, and they did theory of relativity and little shop of horrors. And that was a lot of fun and then at church I sing in the choir sometimes which that’s also pretty fun. I like to make it sound better.

 I was in the pit yeah, I was keyboard two in The Theory of Relativity sophomore year. And I was keyboard one last year.  I hope, I think I’m gonna be in it this year for Freaky Friday I think it is and I hope I get keyboard one because Jack wants keyboard two.

What inspires you?

Uh okay, you know when you see a really hard thing in music right, and you’re just like wow this looks difficult, imagine if I could play that. I like seeing that and being like wow what if I could play that in the future and then I just be like look how hard this is and I can do it.  

Do you wish to continue with music in the future?

 Oh hell yeah, yeah, I’m not majoring in music or anything in college but like I wanna do, I don’t know, maybe like a little glee club you know what I mean. On the side. I don’t, I can’t stop singing because then my voice is gonna get worse and I’m just gonna be sad, you know. So I wanna, I wanna keep it up.

Chamber choir, with its a cappella so that means that when we perform we don’t have a pianist we just sing with only voices and then concert choir it has more people and the we sing with the piano.
