My musical journey has taken me from a shy little girl hiding behind my mom’s legs to a confident artist who performs as a soloist or chamber musician in front of hundreds or even thousands of people, and I am continually amazed at the positive impact music has had on every aspect of my life. Every child should have access to music education, regardless of circumstances beyond a person’s control, and the incredible impact it can have on their lives. I hope you’ll listen to my TEDxCaryAcademy to learn why I believe music offers our society an answer to our quest for justice and equality.
