Music is something that I define as something you can experience. You can always just listen to music, but real music makes you experience something, whether that be an emotion, an image, or a story.

I love classical music out of all music. I'm a huge classical music fanatic. I compose music, when I have time. I love to write for orchestra, and for band. I also really enjoy rap and alternative music. Tyler, The Creator, Lorde, Lana Del Rey, Kendrick Lamar, Florence + The Machine. My favorite composers are John Mackey, Michael Daugherty, David Maslanka, and Eric Whitacre.

Music is something that helps me get through the day. I listen to it while I'm walking to class, while I'm doing homework, when I'm in the shower, music is something that's part of my life and I couldn't live without it.

Another favorite for wind band. A bit less contemporary sounding, but nonetheless, the ending sounds just like a resounding church organ filling the halls of a massive cathedral.

My favorite piece for wind ensemble. The end of the piece had me in tears the first time I listen to it.

Being in band for 4 years, music became part of my life. I met my closest friends while in band, and making music with them are some of the best memories I've ever made. Music to me is memories, it's emotion, it's creativity, it's expression.

Performing inside the Meyerson Center in Dallas for the Dallas Winds Windband festival earlier this year. We placed 5th out of 18. One of the fondest memories I've ever made. I'll remember it for as long as I live.
