Senior Noah Rosales has played guitar for 10 years. He was inspired to start playing guitar after listening to a kid playing a Uruguayan piece on the guitar. He hopes that guitar playing will remain a lifetime hobby.
How old were you when you began playing guitar?
I was about six years old when I started playing guitar.
What inspired you to start playing this instrument?
I heard this song called “La Cumparsita,” and I saw this little kid playing this on guitar so I thought why not try to play that too.
How did you get your first instrument?
After working at one of my friend’s candy stores, I was able to buy a small guitar which was my first one. My dad gave me his dad’s guitar which is what I play now. It is 40 years old and the best guitar I have ever played.
What is your favorite song to play on guitar?
I like to play the theme song from the movie “The Godfather.”
Do you plan to pursue music in the future?
No, music is a hobby for me. I am going to major in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering. I want to open a company with my brother when I graduate.
