Part 2: Reading Comprehension.

Read Jennifer’s statement about her journey with music.

My Musical Journey

I was a shy kid growing up. Over time playing

and creating music helped me realize that I wanted
more than to simply “fit in”- I wanted to be myself.
Music allowed me to express my thoughts, feelings,
and ideas to the world.
The changes weren’t noticeable at first, music
was just something nice to break up my busy school
day. When I shut my door at home to practice my
trumpet or took my seat next to my friends in band class, my stress from the day would melt away.
I turned my full attention to the music I was playing. This was especially true when improvising,
which invited me to “shut off” my brain, open my ears to the music around me, and play whatever
ideas came to mind in the moment. Whether alone or with friends, playing music was relaxing and
fun…most of the time.

 Other times, music wasn’t so enjoyable. Sometimes I would find myself frustrated by my
inability to play a certain melody I had been practicing, or nervous before a big show. I remember
how I felt in the moments before playing a solo on stage: I felt like I was going to be sick.
However, it was through these uncomfortable and anxious moments where I was required to
go outside of my comfort zone that I now realize I started to grow. I started to gain confidence, and
not only confidence in my musical abilities, but confidence in expressing myself in general. As I
began to share this music I had been practicing, this music that was infused with my ideas and
feelings, I found I actually liked expressing myself to the world!
