I love being in CONTEMPO Ensemble. What I love most about being in CONTEMPO Ensemble is that we can all work together to make music in harmony. What I learned in CONTEMPO Ensemble is how to properly work with a band and play music on the beat with other instruments. I also am learning how to control my nerves so I can have a better performance. This is a skill that can help me to play music better and calm the nerves and be more confident as a pianist and a keyboardist.
