Key to Awesomeness: Zachary enjoys musical challenges. He started early with the violin and quickly moved on to clarinet. The 7th-grader began playing bassoon because he was looking for something more challenging than the clarinet. Though he doesn't practice his instruments as his mother would like, Zachary has a great sense of rhythm and his passion for music comes through whenever he plays.
