Although I can honestly say I enjoyed my college experience, I regret my choice of major: music education. I began teaching myself the piano when I was a little girl and I started formal piano lessons in elementary school. In the seventh grade, I joined the school band so I could learn how to play the flute. I stayed in the band throughout high school and college and I never looked back. I loved being in the marching band and I loved my band directors, and for those reasons I decided that I wanted to be one, too.
