As a music major I’m required to take music theory, aural skills, and keyboard (piano) skills. My teacher is so nice and really wants us to learn and wants to help us succeed. I can’t wait to learn all of this with him as my professor.

I worked really hard in school and luckily it paid off. I took every AP class that I could (except world history, history isn’t really my strong suit). My favorite subject outside of music is definitely math. Go ahead, call me crazy
