I have been playing bass since 2015. I started my musical education with piano and voice lessons. In middle school I chose trumpet as my band instrument. In high school, after seeing the jazz band, I decided that I wanted to play the bass. My dad bought me a bass and an amp and in less than a year I was playing bass in the jazz band. Senior year of high school I also switched to the Tuba as my instrument in wind symphony.
In college at MSU, I played in the MSU One O'Clock Jazz Band for all 4 years. I met many good friends in the jazz band and also learned a lot. One of the highlights was seeing the Jeff Hamilton trio perform at the Livingston Jazz Festival.
