I am a musically bound student and have been playing piano since I was 4 and have been in choir for 7 years. Also, I have been dancing since I was four and I have been an honors student since I was in elementary.

What is your greatest strength, and why?

The ability to comprehend music and the ability to learn efficiently.

What is your greatest weakness, and why?

Breath support while singing because singing notes like tied while notes can be very difficult especially when notes are higher along the treble clef.

What skills do you need to learn to turn your greatest weakness into your greatest strength?

Work on sitting correctly so my diaphragm is not compressed and to breathe as much air into my lungs as possible. Also, opening my mouth bigger than I usually do because that helps with higher and longer note values.

Singing higher notes, I learned that I need to open my mouth more to allow more air to help me sing certain higher notes.
