Review of Surrounded by Music


I remember always seeing those VH1 commercials to "save the music," but I didn't really take them seriously. But after hearing your piece, I realized why it is so important to surround yourself with it.Your piece brilliantly emphasizes the fact that music brings people together and that it is way of passing on from older generations to younger generations. What makes this piece so excellent is that your own personal experiences with your fake-adopted granfather are sprinkled throughout.I myself am actually trying to learn to play the guitar. When I need inspiration and encouragment, I'll think of this story!!!
