My name is Jaden Starks, and I have been in the strings program since the fifth grade, playing the violin. Fun fact: I actually joined because, after hearing the strings title, I thought it was a guitar learning class. Even after the mild disappointment, I quickly learned that the violin was a pretty cool instrument to learn and play, and the teachers and my classmates made it an even better experience. After high school, I plan to pursue a career in science, either chemistry or medicine, with content creation on the side.
