Lame I know, trust me. In my head I was thinking okay this year I guess I wont try out for chamber again. The rest was a blur my mom had shown me the video of the performance, and i'll admit it sounded quite nice with the offhand fact that I still felt the shame that came from my messing up.

Argumentative Essay: The Role Of Women In Music

I can’t remember a time in my life when music didn’t matter to me. As a young child, I hummed along incessantly to any tune that popped into my head.
