How It All Started: So there I was, a bored teenager without a job in the summertime (1998). Really, I purposely did not apply for a job because I knew that this summer, the summer after my junior year in high school, I would be looking for college scholarships on the web and working on my Senior Project. Every time I intended to research scholarships on the Internet, I always ended up looking at other things instead. I sometimes looked up my favorite actors, did crossword puzzles, played Jeopardy!, but I usually ended up at a classical music site. I was always in search of music clips of Beethoven, my favorite composer. I found this great site, the Classical MIDI Archives, which had multiple recordings of almost any Beethoven work. Beside each recording was the name of the performer of that piece. I then thought to myself, 'Wouldn't it be cool if my name was on this site?' That's how I thought to create my own site of amateur classical musicians.
How to Navigate My Site: You can locate the amateurs on the toolbar to the left or below, for example, "Meet Claire" will take you to my page, which includes two music recordings, a mini-biography, and a picture of myself. "Meet the Composers" is an index of pages on well-recognized composers such as Beethoven and Bach that I have created.
If you can play a classical music piece and want web space devoted to you and your music on my site, please email me. I would love to have you on my site.
