Q: What inspired you to start learning your instrument?
From a young age, I have wanted to learn an orchestral instrument; I chose the clarinet as the warm, round tone caught my attention
Q: What do you enjoy most about playing your instrument?
One of the main reasons why I enjoy playing the clarinet is because of the freedom to shape the music that’s written on paper into whatever I want it to be: this can reflect mood or thoughts.
Q: What advice would you give to someone performing for the first time?
It is natural to feel nervous; confidence comes with experience. In every performance, you will make one mistake but it’s how you move on that makes you a successful musician.
Q: What are your musical aspirations?
My aspiration is to become a member of a large-scale orchestra. I thoroughly enjoy listening to orchestral pieces due to the talent and effort placed into every strand of sound
