I am expressing my musical self. Melody and rhythm are the gateways to emotions. For me, it has always been a key that unlocks laughter, pain, love, [...]]]></description>

Some of us start because dad played the trumpet, and his dad before him him played the piano, and his mother before him sang mezzo-soprano in the community glee club. In other words, it&#8217;s an expected part of life. Others pick up an instrument because your school requires [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hear music constantly and find myself singing, humming, whistling, and drumming as well as playing one of my instruments.When I'm happy, I may burst into song with "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma or "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady....  And after learning some new musical concepts, you may be moved to learn to play an instrument thereby taking your appreciation of music further.My dream is that every human being learn to play a musical instrument, whether it be saxophone, violin, voice, or marimba.
