“Using music like a language”
A musical instrument is not simply a tool for producing sound. It is a process of developing the ability to understand music, express it spontaneously, and communicate with other performers, just like learning a language. Understand the structure of music and find your own way of expression based on rock, blues, and jazz. (Electric/Bass Guitar)
