My name is Mike Stone and I joined the band
in
January 2010. I play alto sax. I also play flute in the Etobicoke Community
Concert
Band. Resa was a substitute conductor at one of our practices in
December 2009.
She said she could use some saxophone players in Resa's Pieces, so I
stepped
up to the plate. I've been playing flute in the Etobicoke band for about
10
years. I purchased an alto sax about 5 years ago, but I get little time
or
opportunity to play it. I thought that by joining Resa's Pieces I would
have a
chance to try the sax and get better at playing it. I am a therapist by
profession, working with adults who were abused as children, with
families where
parents are separated and with people with a wide variety of
psycho-social
problems. Music is my way of nurturing myself and restoring equilibrium
in my
own life.
