I have always admired how talented students on Cornell campus are! I’ve watched Yamatai perform at the commons on freshman year for the first time, and was truly awed by their talent. I remember thinking how I would make a fool of myself if I even attempted to try what they do, especially since my arms are not that strong. Thus, I was very excited to learn from Yamatai and although no one would want to watch me drum, it was a very fun and enjoyable experience!
