There are songs to be sung. Rhythms to be felt.  Talents to be discovered.

Music is one of my biggest passions. I started playing oboe when I was 8, becoming interested in the instrument because it was different and falling in love with it because of the music and expression it brought out in me.  Feelings that I can never emote in words find their outlet when I play.  I've had the most rewarding experiences and met the most incredible people, musicians or not, through oboe.       I was planning on just being a music minor when I went to college but I tried out the major and fell in love with my professors and fellow music majors.  Even when I am so stressed on account of  all the time put into ensembles and practicing, I know I wouldn't be happy, I wouldn't be me, if I wasn't so involved.

Music makes memories to fill the soul.

This is me, at age 10, playing at the 4th grade Heritage Day (hence my dirndle).  I can see the beginning of all my fingering/tendonitis problems, hehe.

Discover music within  yourself.

I love Joni Mitchell!!!

I'm going to camp out on the land I'm going to try an' set my soul free We are stardust We are golden And we've got to get ourselves Back to the garden Then can I walk beside you I have come here to lose the smog And I feel to be a cog in something turning Well maybe it is just the time of year Or maybe it's the time of man I don't know who I am But you know life is for learning --Woodstock

And the sun poured in like butterscotch And stuck to all my senses Oh won't you stay, we'll put on the day And we'll talk in present tenses When the curtain closes And the rainbow runs away I will bring you incense Owls by night By candlelight By jewel-light If only you will stay --Chelsea Morning

I wish I had a river I could skate away on Oh, I wish I had a river so long I would teach my feet to fly I wish I had a river I could skate away on --River

Funny day, looking for laughter and finding it there Sunny day, braiding wild flowers and leaves in my hair Picked up a pencil and wrote "I love you" in my finest hand Wanted to send it, but I don't know where I stand ... Crickets call, courting their ladies in star-dappled green Thickets tall, until the morning comes up like a dream All muted and misty, so drowsy now I'll take what sleep I can I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand I know that I miss you, but I don't know where I stand --I Don't Know Where I Stand

Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine You taste so bitter and so sweet Oh, I could drink a case of you darling Still I'd be on my feet oh I would still be on my feet --A Case of You
