I'm the one in the purple tie, holding the trumpet!
How long have you been writing music?
For the last three years while I have attended Otterbein University in Ohio. I like to compose for piano, electronic music, and ethnic instruments, and percussion. I play the piano, trumpet, banjo, Native American flute, guitar, mandolin, and various percussion instruments.
How long have you been interested in music?
I started taking lessons on various instruments since I was in the fourth grade. I owe great thanks to my several wonderful teachers. Since then my interests has only grown until it brought me to the steps of a University.
Do you have any special education in music?
Yes, I was fortunate enough to receive instruction as a child in several different instruments. Currently, I attend Otterbein University. I am a music major in their music department.
What music interests you the most?
Jazz music is my first musical passion. I enjoy jam sessions with my colleagues and have been in several jazz ensembles. Trumpet is my primary instrument.
Do you write books too?
Yes, I am attempting to pen a mystery novel. I'm working on it right now. I hope to have it done this year. I'd hoped to be done sooner. But, it is more of a challenge than first anticipated. Nevertheless, I hope to get it finished and be fortunate to have it published, maybe by Midnight Frost Books. I am writing under a pen name.
What do you do in your free time?
I have three dogs. Two who live at my house and one who lives at my grandparent's farm. I like to spend time outside on the farm helping my grandfather. I enjoy making music :), going to the movies, Star Trek reruns, camping with my family, gaming with my brother, and spending time with my friends and family.
