Alma Perotte, who is majoring in music education and steelpan performance in the School of Music is the subject of a Huskie Spotlight.
Alma says she knew as a child growing up in Belize City, Belize that she wanted music to be an essential part of her life.
When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a musician. Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, especially since I grew up in a very artistic household. My mother was a dancer, and my father was a musician. I was surrounded by rhythm and creativity every day, and that’s what inspired my passion for the steelpan and percussion. Today, I’m proud to say that I’m pursuing that dream by majoring in music education and performance. This path allows me not only to grow as a performer but also to share my culture and inspire others through teaching and music.
