The very first time I “played” music was when I was three. My mother equipped me with a metal pot and a wooden spoon. I would march about the house to Rossini’s William Tell Overture to my little heart’s content. I’d like to think that my musical abilities have improved since then.
Years later, I picked up the flute in elementary school and kept playing it throughout high school as my principal instrument. I also picked up a few other instruments on an experimental basis, including the tympani, the trombone, and the bassoon. In high school I played in the band and also organized many of my own ensembles with other students who were interested. After high school I played for a year in another community band, but discontinued with that group because of scheduling conflicts.
I found Resa’s Pieces on the web in September of this past year and emailed them, excited about the prospect of getting back into music. I decided to pick up the trombone for something a little different. I am really happy about finding this band and playing with this very talented and easy-going group of people.
