My first time hearing the trumpet was a recording of Louis Armstrong. Ever since that time when I was 6, the trumpet was what I wanted to do. He was probably my first musical idol. Of course, being Asian, my parents told me do piano, so I did that starting at 7. Then in fourth grade, we got the option of doing band. I jumped at the opportunity of finally playing a trumpet. At first the teacher wanted me to do trombone (no one tried to play it), but I was locked onto the trumpet.

Now, I'm a sophomore in High School and I still have that first trumpet. I'm participating in Jazz Band, Symphony Orchestra, Concert Band, and the Musical Pit Band. It's awesome.
