Bio:
I chose the trombone randomly but have loved it since. I was especially given the chance to improve on my instrument during my 3 yeas at Harry Ainlay High School. I highly suggest their music program. When I am not playing, I love listening to the general timbre of trombones, in whatever musical context.
