Introduce Yourself: Annalysa

So I'd like to do an "Introduce Yourself" post on  someone different every week so if you want to do one, send me an email at musicwriter941@gmail.com. I'm sure we'd all like to get to know each other!

Since I'm here, I thought I might as well introduce myself...

My name is Annalysa and I'm 15 years old. I play piano, violin, cello, penny whistle, and I'm working on guitar. We have a banjo and an accordion and I have an ocarina but I haven't really progressed on those quite yet. My ocarina is mainly for playing around since it only plays an octave and a half...not too easy to play hard songs with.

I started playing piano when I was 2, violin when I was 6, and cello just last Christmas (not 2014, but 2013...okay, two Christmases ago, then) and penny whistle is kind of a hobby I picked up after I watched The Willis Clan play. Not that I'm as good as Jet, but I hope to be sometime.

I love music and just found that I could compose music last Mother's Day. I've written several songs too, and I hope to get a CD out one of these days, although by the time I actually do get it out, it'll probably be more on iTunes than CD. Does anyone actually use CD's anymore besides me and my family? :)

I'm really excited to get to know other like-minded musicians who love music as much as I do - who knows, maybe we'll be able to get to meet each other in person sometime! :)

Anyway, that's a little bit about me. I want to hear from y'all too, so send me an email if you want to do an "Introduce Yourself" post! I hope to post one every Saturday if I get enough!! :)

Now go change the world!
