BYU-Hawaii Graduate April 2010

I am now a graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Music.


I have been soooo blessed. Education, Family, and the Gospel of Jesus Chirst,
What more could I ask for?

Senior Recital

My Senior Recital went really well. I played 7 pieces altogether. I was able to play the Trumpet (Bb and C), a Flugelhorn, the Double Second Steel Pans, as well as sing for my original composition. Not a bad wrap up to four years of studying here.

I can't thank Bro K enough for all his love and support the last four years. He has been my Professor, Bishop, Private Instructor, and Father away from home.

My family came for my recital and graduation and have been a huge support to me my entire life. It was so nice to get to share The Land of Aloha with them becuase I have come to love it so dearly myself, especially

BYU-Hawaii.

One Year Already?

Wow has it really been a year since my last post?!?! so much has gone on. Steel Band Tour to Maui, a trip to London and Paris, Earth, Wind and Fire and Chicago concert, back to school for my final year, audition in to the Nauvoo Brass Band, survived music history part 1 and Fitness for Death (...I mean Living), an excellent Christmas with my family, back for my last semester (how did that happen), accepted to the Nauvoo Brass Band(Yay!!), working towards being ready for my Senior Trumpet Recital and Graduation this April, and these are just a few of the Good things. Lots of Laughs, Tears, Learning, Growing, and being led to where I am now. I'm very grateful for the things I have learned and for who I have become just in the past year.
