Instrument - Mandolin
I have always loved to sing and try my hand at different instruments, and have always
continued playing musical instruments since I started at a very young age. I began to
teach myself to play on the keyboard before I started school and before I could even
write name properly I was already composing melodies. My parents forced me to go to
various different instrumental lessons, but I just was not interested. Instead I found
that I preferred to teach myself. I enjoyed playing piano and guitar so I stuck with
teaching myself how to play those two instruments.
It wasn't until I started going to tabir that I developed a taste for ukrainian music,
and I certainly loved what I heard. When the guys asked me to join the Roza, it came
somewhat as a surprise! I was a bit wary of joining them because they were already
accomplished as a four piece band and I had my doubts whether I could add anything
valuable to them. But at the moment I am learning to play the mandolin with the band,
and hopefully it will work out for us all.
