“My favorite part of my music career is that music is my career.

Being able to perform music outside of school, and educating kids for my job is, well, I can’t ask for anything more than that.

I think the best part about music is that I’ve been playing it for twenty-something years, and there’s no end in sight. You know, when you find something that really speaks to you, the worthwhile things can be practiced for your entire life. So if you find something’s hit a dead end, then maybe it’s not the most valuable use of your time. Another thing that’s great about music is that you always feel like a beginner, and there’s always more to learn. But, you also get to enjoy the progress you made. I deal with the same frustration I felt when I started learning, but now I have the tools to manage that and put it into something productive.
