Parents owned a music store, so everything started very early.
Piano lessons very young, before there was a chance to find trumpet in school .. guitar, because, well I had to work at the music store when I was young, and they were everywhere, others just came along out of curiosity .. but I always see a piano when I am using theory in any way, be it transposing, reading, improvising on any instrument, etc
So I guess that's my 'base instrument'

Helping clean/fix instruments in the summer meant at least learning how all of them worked

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
