Quote: "To me, music is the rhythm of life. Every culture has a form of rhythm and melody, from the most primitive tribes to the advanced bustling cities, everyone has music running through their veins. It's the most basic human response to joy or sorrow - and it's also great for exercise, study, or for passing time on the train."
Aspirations: To bring music to everyone in medicine - to give everyone opportunities for performance and to make their performances more renowned throughout the med cohort! Also, to be able to play twinkle twinkle little star on every single instrument (I haven't got any of the winds down). And as a more ambitious goal, perhaps to be able to play at Sydney opera house one day!
