Joy to the Ears

Ah, music. It's something almost everyone enjoys. There are SO many types out there and that may be the reason why everyone takes time to let their ears experience such intense joy. Music is its own little bundle of celebration. It's accepted everywhere and is something that will probably never go away. I, personally, have a high liking of music. I love to listen and I love to make music. No, I don't sing. My voice isn't good at all. Instead, I took up playing an instrument, or two.

I started playing the clarinet in the sixth grade. I wasn't very good at all, of course, but it didn't take long for me to develop a talent. I loved the sound that came out it. It was beautiful, not too high and not too low. It seemed so magical to me so I continued to play it in the band until I finished the eighth grade. I was sad when I had to stop, but it was required. Over the time that I had been playing the clarinet, I had developed a, supposedly common, skin disease. The clarinet was making my skin disease act up, from how you were required to play the clarinet, and I had to quit. It was devastating.

I'm fine not playing the clarinet now, but of course I still miss it and wish I could have been in the high school band. I think I'm better off just finding an instrument where only your hands are required, like a guitar or the drums!... Maybe.
