Lovers and Fighters | Section 22

The man who I have chosen for this blog post is my high school music teacher named Pierre. He was an extremely passionate man who always pushed us to be the best we could be. He himself was a professional trombonist for many years in different orchestras. He eventually had to give up playing seeing as he developed an issue with his jaw that made him unable to keep performing. This didn’t stop him from keeping music in his life by becoming a teacher. Through his teaching and drive to help students understand the importance of music, I discovered my passion. He is the reason I am pursuing music now in CEGEP and hopefully in university next year. For the last 15 years, Pierre has been inspiring and helping students like me discover the beauty of the music world. His love for this art form was felt throughout the classroom and I always think of him whenever I have an important audition approaching. For these reasons, he has inspired me in my life and will continue to inspire others for his whole career.
