I think I replied to this thread already, but I can't go back to edit it, so I will write and add extra stuff to it.
I started learning music in second grade. It was a school activity, so I didn't really miss anything. After a year later, we got to choose instruments. Everyone wanted to pick guitar, but the music school was already filled up on guitar teachings. Therefore, since I wanted to play guitar as well, chose to play the violin as another stringed instrument. I was doing awesome, except, I was a little lazy to practice... I loved it when I performed my pieces as a piano duet. It sounded beautiful, and I was leading the piano, so I developed some leadership. I stopped learning the violin after fourth grade, because I moved to America. In 6th grade, I heard about the beginner band for middle school. It was a prep for the middle school band, so I joined. My best friend encouraged me to play the clarinet, and luckily, I got one for free from one of my parent's friends. I loved the band and I was chosen for the Advanced Band in 7th grade. The Advanced Band was for 8th graders, so it was an honor. There were a few other kids of my age who were chosen as well. I also picked up the violin again, after hearing about Free Music School, in CA, and my parents suprised me with a violin of my own.
Now, in 8th grade, I had to move to Florida. A few months before I left, I was told that I made it to the school's Jazz Band/Stage Band, the highest band in the school where my band leader picks certain people to be in. That meant that I had to learn to play the saxophone, for Jazz tunes. I played it for a couple of months, and got the hang of it. I wish to get a saxophone of my own. I also decided to sit out this year, even though my new school has a band class. I practice by myself, and I take proper care of my instruments.
Wow, I just realized the lenght of this post. I think it includes my whole entire music career so far...
