"Since I began high school, it has been a dream and goal of mine to be in the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles [GRAMMY Camp - Jazz Session]. I am grateful to my high school jazz band director who provided me with opportunities of going to visit the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles [GRAMMY Camp - Jazz Session] at USC two years ago for the GRAMMY in the Schools event. I was so impressed that I applied last year and then again sent in audition materials this year. Now as a senior, I am so happy to have been selected as a pianist in the GRAMMY Jazz Ensembles [GRAMMY Camp - Jazz Session] for 2011. The honor is very inspiring to me as I broaden my musical experiences from the local, to the state, to now the national level."
