Music

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Ever since I was little I was always singing. Music is one of my biggest passions in life and is something I could never give up. I've been enrolled in a choir since the 5th grade and haven't looked back since. Choir/ music has taught me so many valuable lessons in life. I learned to be patient, to feel the music, to sing with emotion, and to be a team player. 

Music has been an incredible journey. So incredible, I wish that everyone had a chance to experience it. Even though I don't plan to make a career out of singing, I know it will always be a huge part of my life. Although, I'm not able to be in the choir at OC, due to my class schedule in Cosmetology, I'm planning to join my church choir so that I'm still around music. 

Some people don't believe that music is a big part of education, but I believe that is completely wrong. You can't really know how music can affect you unless you've been around it. Choir especially, has been such an amazing learning experience that I wouldn't trade for anything. I've made friendships that I'm sure will last a life time, and have met the most amazing choir teacher. Someone who is truly passionate about what she does. No matter what budget cuts the arts department gets, I know my choir teacher will strongly stand by what she believes is right. She is someone I admire dearly for her passion of music.
