This is a picture of a
concert at St. Olaf College, where I went to school. They have a giant
"Christmas Festival" there every December. There are about 450 singers
and an orchestra. All of them are college students (except for the
conductors). I sang in this concert three times and it was amazing. I
think it's fun to sing with other people. You have to really work
together to do everything right. |

This is a picture of me
from a few years ago, at the big chapel at Valparaiso University. I
sing in a group there called the Bach Choir. Usually we sing things by
Johann Sebastian Bach, a famous composer. This time we sang a piece by
Mozart. If you look, you can see his name on the front cover of our
books. |

Here I am playing the
piano. I started playing when I was about 12 years old. I took for
lessons for a few years and then played by myself for a long time. In
2005 I started taking lessons again. It is really helpful to have a
teacher to give you good suggestions about how to get better. Playing
the piano, or any instrument, takes a lot of practice, but that's part
of the fun. You work at it over and over again and slowly you get
better. |
