Hi, I'm David. I am a high school graduate and currently a music intern. I am involved in 3 orchestras, and am in several bands. I am a highly accomplished musician, and I'm in the midst of auditions to music colleges. I can play anything but I'm going for a concentration in piano and percussion performance and also music composition.
Eastman (waitlisted...I have a chance!)
Northwestern (waitlisted...eh, whatever. The professor's going to Eastman anyway.)
Juilliard (waitlisted...HOLY SHIT!)
Jacobs School of Music (rejected...understandable)
University of Wisconsin (accepted)
North Carolina School of the Arts (accepted)
Cleveland Institute of Music (rejected...doesn't matter, I don't want to go there anyway.)
University of South Carolina (accepted)
Music is my life, and that's not superficial either. It's pretty much the only thing I'm good at (lololololol...that and computer programming), and through it I can express a developed artistic medium.
I love classical music. A lot. No seriously, I love it...A LOT. I love any style of classical music (be it Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century, Minimalist, Avant-garde, or whatever), and I know a hell of a lot about it. Oh yes, I enjoy Dream Theater, Symphony X, and Necrophagist too. Yeah, as far as other styles, I'm pretty open minded, but my favorites are progressive anything, jazz, acoustic, fusion, funk, and techno (in no particular order.)
So that kinda sums it up, I guess. If you want to know more, just ask.
