Me Play!
My name is Wade, and thanks for visiting my website! Music has been an innate interest of mine since I was a young child. I vividly remember playing youth league sports, but always being totally transfixed by the marching band and knowing from a young age music was my passion.
Now, as a musician and educator I realize music is an integral part of the of the human experience and reaches past language, ethnicity, and culture to express meaning. Its practice allows one to explore both individuality and our shared human experience. Music, like life, is a malleable pursuit that grants the individual an opportunity of infinite challenge, diversity, and expression.
