My Musical Background
My musical journey began as a child, where I started playing my mums childhood keyboard. YouTube tutorials were the core of my musical education, initally being one pop song at a time, and slowly adding a bit of theory. Then a friend from church taught me to read sheet music, and I began playing one hymn a week in one of our church services.
Music
My Primary instruments are:
- Piano
- Trombone
- Guitar
I started learning the piano when I was young, and over years I learned to reach sheet music, and scaled up the kind of pieces I was able to play. I learnt guitar and the basics of a few other insturments in high school for fun, and to expand my musical knowlegde. I quickly found myself being asked to help others with performances and rehearsals, due to my natural musical ability and my versatility.
In my later high school years I participated in a brief brass band project where I learned the basics of playing the trombone. This led to me doing regular trombone lessons throughout my college years, where I played a variety of jazz and classical pieces, both solo for my grade practice, and in the college ensembles.
I now play annually in my church brass band, and play piano / organ on a regular basis. I've also developed an interest in singing since high school and now sing tenor in my church choir.
