I played saxophone after four years, it seemed too easy and no longer was fun as it had been before other people quit as well

From a young age I started singing, choirs and all - and sketching. At around age 8 or 9 my mother signed me up for Art lessons with a local sketch artist Michael Davidson... In middle school I wasn't allowed to choose one specialty according to my mother and so I got a lot of experience with Art but none with music as it's only option was as a specialty. In grade 9 I picked up the trumpet and got it instantly... but gave up at the end of the year because the music teacher was a @#$#@$@#. I kept singing in the mean time, and performing/acting as well. In high school I took lots of art classes which I aced with ease. Then in Grade 11 and 12 I picked up the Clarinet, Tenor Sax, Piano, and some mild song writing. I also started playing for the Honor Jazz Ensemble at the Victoria Conservatory of Music. After high school I attended the Victoria Conservatory of Music as a classical and jazz clarinetists. I continued with my artwork on my own time, and focused on music until I had to leave because I was too pregnant to do music anymore... haven't really touched music since, and while I might be found singing on some recordings (plz don't go looking - probably won't find them anyway) I refuse to let anyone outside my house hear my voice anymore. Latest example of my sketching: (Basically inspired by some image searches and the idea that was put in my head when I read someone writing about moderators as "Griefer Assassin's" (click to show/hide)
I play the guitar, I frequently do some nice jam sessions on Mumble.Other than that I used to paint.
