What part of the ACHS Music Program has had the most impact on you and why? The aspect of studying music rather than just singing the notes. We got to focus on ranges and how to read music, something my old school didn't really pay attention to, even though I wanted to learn more.

What would you say to your freshman self about the Music program if you could? Don't complain to your mom about doing choir dude, you're going to fall in love with it.
