I don't know what it is, but you gotta do it.

About Me

Hiyo! I'm a 24 year old girl from outside of Knoxville, TN. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, with a BM in music education and clarinet performance. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Art in Clarinet performance from MTSU in Murfreesboro. I want to teach clarinet at the college level and play professionally. If you can't tell, music is my life. Pretty much everything that I do involves music of some kind. I play the clarinet (Bb/A/Eb/Bass), the piano, a little bit of flute, and I sing (poorly).Outside of school, I work at Lane Bryant and I love it. I also play Guitar Hero all the time. I play on expert...cause I kick ass. I love to travel and see new places! Like Europe this summer!I guess that's about enough. I'm a really cool kid, so talk to me sometime.
