And of course, the piano is a great instrument to play on and I love every minute of it. In the fall of 2004, Norman North put on Beauty and the Beast, where I was the Reherasal Accompanist and performed the Keyboard 1 part in the orchestra. In 2002, I performed Les Miserables, the first in Oklahoma to do so, and played the Keyboard 3 part. I consider that a great honor, because many other students at my school are superior at the piano.
