I have played the xylophone a little bit before but it was a very long time ago and it was fun to work with one again. I also really liked the big drum that we used at the end of class. I did have some trouble with it considering I have trouble hearing and need to see it be done in order to get it.

What started off as blind luck and an attraction to shiny objects is now a part of my life.
