My favorite song, the times they are a-changing by Bob Dylan, makes me feel hopeful for the future. I hear this song and think of the political, economic, and social turmoil that inspired it and I see this reflected in our world today. Knowing that there were great folk heroes like Bob Dylan and Pete Seegar to usher us through those times with their art and poetry helps me to think that the situation we find ourselves in at the moment is only temporary.

Yes, I have been playing the guitar since I was eight years old. I specialize in finger style acoustic guitar, but can play other styles as well, such as flatpicking and strumming. I am very interested in music theory, it is something that I enjoy learning about in my free time and studying in more structured environments. In high school, I took an advanced placement music theory class that gave me a solid foundation for my knowledge base on the subject.
