Hi! First things first, music is my life, and I hope to secure a career in teaching music to middle school students someday. Also, I love to cook and bake, play raquet ball/tennis, and own a pet dog and a pet rat.I have played flute since 5th grade, and in seventh grade, I switched to oboe. Being one of three, I then moved on to bassoon, and have loved it ever since! I recently purchased a Schreiber, and it works wonderfully! My flute is an Emerson EF6 (solid silver headjoint/ open holes). In addition to the bassoon, I am currently learning piccolo and bass guitar, and hope to add clarinet to my family of instruments soon.As far as 8notes.com goes, I have looked at the forums and music for as long as I can remember, and upon reading a post which had incorrect info, I got up the nerve to join.
