Music

I have been playing an instrument ever since i was in grade school.  I loved playing the trumpet because it was loud, and just felt right.  I played the trumpet up  until my 8t grade year, when i switched over to the euphonium.

The euphonium, is also know as a baritone.  This instrument is played exactly like a trumpet, however the mouth piece is much larger making it a tad bit easier to play.  It's shaped like a tuba, yet isn't that heavy.  All throughout high school I played this instrument.  Yet, my time with the euphonium came to an end as well.

After high school was over, i stopped playing concert music completely.  However, my time and experiences had not been forgotten.  My musical career is not over.  I am still playing but just on a different instrument, along with a different genre of music.

Now i've been experimenting with the guitar, bass, and even a little bit of drums.  My band and I do not perform a lot any more, however i still play by myself. 

The time I spent in the concert band has made my guitar playing even easier.  Whenever I learn new things about the guitar, everything just seems to connect a little bit better.  Studying scales and arrangements in the concert band, made my mind open and realise that everything musical works in the same way.  I just hope to continue and learn all that is to be known about music.
