“When I first started school in the United States, I remember feeling so intimidated by everyone speaking English. At the time, I only spoke Spanish and had no one I could communicate comfortably with. Despite my frustrations and constant struggles, the one way I was able to communicate with others was through music. Since that young age, I always wanted to connect with others through different types of music. I believe it is a way we can express ourselves in such a unique way that words cannot always do. Now, as a music teacher, I strive for my students to have an appreciation for all genres of music.”
