Jason’s goal to become a music educator stems from his experiences in various performing ensembles, including serving as drum major for the Albion marching band. Through these roles, he discovered an immense joy in witnessing people's musical growth, whether through singing or playing instruments. In his essay about what role he hopes to play in society with his participation in the arts, Jason stated that “In a world often brimming with negativity, these lessons in empathy and creativity are more vital than ever, shaping not just musicians, but exceptional human beings.”
