Southern Oboe Intensive 2016

What I learned about myself: I have something to say, I have a perspective, I have a voice, and it needs to be heard. 

Also learned stuff about the oboe but all of that was overshadowed by these realization and being told by one of the faculty members "You have something to say". Something so simple left such a lasting and intense impact its hard to even explain. Of course I knew that already but being told that but someone who only meet you days ago just proofs why we do this, we do this to leave an impression, or to just simply make someone feel something. Anything really. Sometimes they may not like what they feel whether it's sad or happy feelings but the act of someone responding and feeling something because of your music is just sublime. 

To me at least.
