My college interest is that of a musical college, and to be more specific, a major in musical composition.  

I have been playing piano for five years, and been taking lessons from two professional teachers for one year. My current teacher is a piano teacher at Rowan and also a world-renown pianist. Before my piano lessons I had taking one year of guitar lessons but ultimately abandoned full priority of guitar for piano. Currently I am working on a variety of musical endeavors. I am composing a piece for violin and piano to be performed at the senior-directed cabaret by a fellow violinist and me. I am also involved in a piece for two guitars to be performed at the talent show by a fellow guitarist and me. Finally, I am working on an orchestration piece for strings to be considered and possibly performed by the high school orchestra.

In my freshmen and sophomore year I had been in the high school chorus, in which I had performed multiple concerts. I am now a part of the S.U.R.E. Club and the history club.

I had been a leader for three years of an independent band and during that time we had performed live and recorded an album composed of seven songs written by me. We were considered, by our fellow peers, as one of the best bands in Township and we received much praise from fellow musicians.

I have received honor role every marking period last year and many other times during the previous years. I have received admission for a gold Renaissance card many times throughout my high school career and received the card 3 times.

I had a part-time job last year at McDonalds and now I help out my neighbors with various odd jobs. All teachers find me conscientious and dependable with responsible and positive attitudes.
