Have you ever taken music lessons?
“I've taken piano and trumpet lessons, but I didn't really like it. And I play sports, so I didn't really have time to practice.”
— Hillary Yoder, freshman, Southwest Junior High School
“Yes, to play the piano. I'm actually going there this evening. I don't really like it, but my mom makes me go.”
— Randy Walter, eighth grade, SWJHS
“I did band last year. I played the clarinet, but I just kind of lost interest.”
— Lauren Fleming, eighth grade, SWJHS
“Yes, to play the alto saxophone. It's easier than the trumpet, which I used to play, and it has a sweeter sound to it.”
— Tommy Kitchen, eighth grade, SWJHS
“Yes, for the piano. I've been taking them for two or three years now. I think I'll continue to take them because I want to play fun and beautiful music.”
— Sarah Shin, eighth grade, SWJHS

“No. I tried to join band, but I got kicked out.”
