Music as a Passion
Cantwell said, "I started [music] because it intrigued me so much. There is life in music that grows and dies by the notes. All music is likable… ".
She switched schools in 5th grade, and her only choice was a recorder. Cantwell said, "That was agonizing to say the least, but 6th grade I started middle school and got to play trumpet again." By the next year, she was asked if she wanted to switch to a "less popular" instrument to help balance out the band, she agreed and switched to baritone.
I despise my computer. Here is rest of the story again since my blogs don't like me. Plus, I don't know where my picture went :/

Music as a Passion
Nine years old and already involved in music. Alexis Cantwell had started to play the violin, soon to switch to a trumpet. She became immersed with a passion that would continue throughout her life.
Cantwell said, “I started [music] because it intrigued me so much. There is life in music that grows and dies by the notes. All music is likable… ”.
She switched schools in 5th grade, and her only choice was a recorder. Cantwell said, “That was agonizing to say the least, but 6th grade I started middle school and got to play trumpet again.” By the next year, she was asked if she wanted to switch to a “less popular” instrument to help balance out the band, she agreed and switched to baritone.
Cantwell’s passion with music led her to join the marching band, specifically the “pit percussion, the under appreciated section of the band.” When I questioned her about life after music, she said “If I ever had to stop playing music I would die a little inside every day. Sure, there's always things to listen to but unless you get to play it, the music loses its flavor.”
At the end of the interview Cantwell confided,
“Music is so versatile that it can conform like water but won't move like a solid and also can't be kept like gas. Music, if you let it, can be that one thing to keep you going. I can not, and choose not, to live without music.”
I'm glad I looked at your comments, as I thought that your interview seemed short and incomplete.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I am not sure how to fix it, but for my last few posts, my computer decides to only post half of the story.
