I took my first dance class at the age of five. I had picked up my first musical instrument in the fourth grade: the recorder. Two years later, I was given the ability to join the orchestra program at my middle school, and I quickly jumped on that bandwagon, choosing to play the violin. To my parents, these we all tools to harass them day in and day out. To me, they were a means of using my imagination to create something meaningful: music. Ever since those early days, music has always been part of my life.
Music has become the means by which I express myself. I believe that music, much like art, affects people in different ways. It is for this reason I dance to, listen to, and play music, for the various interpretations of music that can be made. This is why I choose to minor in music at NYU. The Department of Music is held in the highest regard, and it would be an honor to continue my education in a program with such high status. The program can offer me insight and give me the opportunity to divulge myself into both classical and contemporary music, and I am fully willing to fulfill my ambition in decoding the meaning to the music that I hear. I want to experience as much musical diversity and influence as possible, something I feel I can't experience at any other school. Music is my passion, and I believe that NYU is the place to let that passion flourish.
