”…music is fun because of the cool songs we play. I have to focus so hard sometimes I zone out of everything else.”
Currently the only bassoonist on the 5th-8th grade band, Jonathan is taking on the challenge of learning to play the bassoon after two years of learning the clarinet. He admits to being a little nervous before band performances, but says he feels like part of a team. His focus and commitment has won him praise from his teacher.
Congratulations, Jonathan! We love your positive attitude.
