Where are you from? I'm from Salem, OR!
Do you have a favorite place in Tacoma? Probably Chalet Bowl in Proctor! It's a great place to meet up with friends and has a super chill vibe.
Name a class at Puget Sound you are interested in, but haven't taken: I would definitely take Jazz Theory and Improvisation. As a primarily classical musician, I have always been interested in learning more about improvisation as a form of expression.
What is a book that has been influential for you? The Inner Game of Music written by Barry Green changed the way I approached playing an instrument and gave me tools to tackle performance anxiety and form better practice habits. All of these concepts positively impacted my experience as a music major when I attended Puget Sound!
