Tasha Devost, a Grade 12 student at Confederation Secondary School, is
shown in the school's recording studio with Lianne Caron, a Grade 11
recording engineer in the background.
Tasha has always dreamed about one day being a famous
performer.
"When I was little I was always singing and dancing, pretending to
be a famous star," she reflected. "As I got older I continued to
build up more and more interest in music. I've played the sax for five
years and the keyboard for a year. I'm also in the Confed band."
However, when she took the first part of the Music program last year,
Tasha discovered something.
"I realized my own personal limitations when it came to
performing, and know that it would be unrealistic for me to try to get
into a career on stage, but when I took Mr. McIntosh's music class I
discovered that I could still make a career out of my passion for music on
the technical side," this very mature young lady explained.
"I've decided that I am going to go to college next year to become a recording
engineer," stated Tasha. "What I've found is that I totally
enjoy editing and adding technical enhancements to a recording. The best
part of it is when you let a person listen to the CD that you have just
worked on. When you see how good they feel about the creation you have
worked on, it gives you a real special feeling. I know this is what I want
to do for a living and I am so glad I took Mr. McIntosh's music course to
discover what I can do with my life." For Tasha, performing magic
by editing and adding special effects to a recording gives her as much
satisfaction and should lead to a very rewarding life in the music
industry. If you link to the CAREER
PLANNER web site you will see that Tasha is taking the right steps to
ensuring a great future.
