I love music ensembles. Playing by yourself can, and does, get boring: playing with a whole group is exciting. Also, it motivates me to practice more because I don't want to be the weak player who can't play their part. I love performing with Symphony, playing altogether just creates this powerful feeling. I love feeling the energy of the other music kids playing along, we get so pumped. Playing in a group is great, because it can be solely a group endeavor, or you can make it solo, by practicing and improving on your own time.
