Who I am

             My home town Hi I am Bettina Coker I am from Highland Park Illinois a suburb of Chicago and Here I am sitting in my room at my desk just thinking of all the things I could start off in my blog to describe my world to you. Gotta say my world is pretty blessed traveling, fencing, and those may seem like only a few things, but within those things are many ways to be grateful for. I get to go places and see new things all the time and i get my art motivation all the time from museums photos and paintings. This summer I went to Santorini Greece it was like a dream there.

We say, “Music shall fill the air.” We never say, “Music shall fill a particular segment of the air.”” To me this quote immediately stuck out to me because I love listening to music, and playing music.

To me it was really interesting to create some of the tunes I made online. I still felt Like music surrounding and filling the space around me but not as much as when I actually pick up my guitar and start either strumming some random cords or doing an actual song. To me I like my music to be live not through a headset because in a live instrument you can hear so much more emotion. I love that part of playing an instrument.
