Hi, I`m Megan. My friends think I`m a little strange because I play the bassoon. Half of them don`t even know what a bassoon is. I think this forum is really cool. My first instrument was piano. In 5th grade, I decided to join band and played the clarinet. I liked clarinet a lot, but wanted to try something new. I started voice lessons in 6th grade. Later in 6th grade, I tried trumpet for a while, but didn`t like it that much. In 7th grade I tried oboe. I tried oboe because I really wanted to play the bassoon, but oboe was available in the meantime. I liked it a lot. I finally switched from clarinet to bassoon for the current school year, and I love it! I took voice lessons in 6th and 7th grades but I took a year off to take bassoon. I kinda miss voice so I think I`ll go back in September. I must add that I've been forced to play recorder since 4th grade for music class. I don't like it very much because we play super easy stuff. All the band kids can sight read the music. But everybody else plays horribly and I feel sorry for them because they have to play recorder in the first place. No offense to all the other recorder players out there.

The Bible, God, singing in choir, and practicing my instruments. Solo and ensemble is over now. Now I gotta pick a piano piece and a bassoon piece for my recital in May. I really want to get into the musical for highschool. I can`t wait to find out what they`re doing. I kinda want to learn sousaphone for marching band. I don`t really want to march clarinet. I also like the Peanuts comic strips. When I`m feeling sad I just read one and my day gets brighter. I'm also a fan of Julie Andrews.
