At about age 10 my older brother showed me how to play a song on the accordion, and I liked playing it so much that I began to learn others on my own. It wasn’t until many years later that I took lessons and learned to read music and many of the fundamentals that I had missed trying to teach myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also play the guitar, but something about the accordion makes me want to play it daily. I enjoy a variety of music, and I choose individual songs depending on what feels good to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have never played with a group before, so I feel happy and honored to be a part of the Ruk orchestra.

It is also nice to feel the camaraderie of the group, as everyone seems to enjoy being there, and is warm and supportive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
