Music is important to me because it not only gave me something to love, but it also enabled me to develop my social skills. It, in a way, forced me to interact with other people from my section and the other members. It taught me to understand, appreciate and enjoy music so much more than what I used to. It's a life changer for me and I want to keep going, I want to learn new things and go back to what I was doing before my clarinet. - Amanda
