I discovered two interests in Grade 4 in the Toronto public school system – playing with computers and playing the Tuba. I pursued a Bachelor of Music playing the Tuba – took the performance spot at University of Toronto but never completed the degree. I think I got the two interests backwards – I like working with computers and should have kept music as a hobby.
After not playing for 15 years, I’m reversing the order – working with computers and pursuing performing a low brass instrument (Bass Trombone) as a hobby. The bass trombone’s great fun – I can play almost as low as commonly written Tuba parts but have more access to melody parts.
Resa’s Pieces is a delight to play with – a skilled conductor willing to lead a group of dedicated, fun players.
