What are you going to do be doing after graduation?
I'll be attending Oberlin College in the fall and intend to major in musical studies. Over the summer, I'll be a rather busy musician. Outside of SoR, I play in a jazz group with other young musicians and already have several gigs booked for the next few months. All of this aside, I'm most looking forward to traveling with the School of Rock AllStars band. Getting into Allstars felt like the culmination of all the hard work I've put in at SoR whether it was being a student, part of performance program, or a member of House Band.
What will you take with you from your time at School of Rock?
School of Rock taught me the importance of being a team player, but more importantly taught me about my personality. On and offstage, I always aspire to be reliable, consistent, and effective at communicating. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone at School of Rock I band would say that you should always try playing with musicians better than yourself. When I first joined House Band, I had only been playing bass for about a year and I found myself surrounded by people notably better than me. Instead of being discouraged by this skill gap, I was inspired to work harder. I've learned a lot of things from my peers at School of Rock but most importantly, I credit my bass instructor P'Nut for all he's taught me in my five years at School of Rock.
