Life is too short to be worried about “what if” or “what could have been.” There is always a concern with making money as a musician. If I wanted to be rich, I would never have chosen music.

professors made my senior year so wonderful to study music and helped me realize that I wanted to keep studying piano intensively after my time at PLU.
