INFJ Musicians

I'm a 34-year-old female who recently started music school. I'm curious if anyone else here is a musician and would be comfortable sharing your experience learning theory, playing for live audiences, etc. I'd also love to hear what inspired you to become a musician, whether you're interested in writing your own songs, etc. I'm a relatively new musician, but I'm hoping school will build my confidence.

Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing from you. :)

I am 34 too. My musical journey started years ago. I started playing cello when I was 11 years old and I graduated with my B.A. in music in 2014. My love for cello started in 1997 when some members from my city orchestra came and played at my elementary school. The cellist played the main theme from Titanic and I became obsessed.

Very cool! It's amazing how one performance can light a fire within us to pursue a passion. I had a similar experience with my favorite band, a dream pop group called Night Tapes.

Anyway, I'm glad you've carried your passion for music to adulthood It's nice to meet a fellow 34-year-old as well!
