Jamie Linh Tran is a Junior and a music major at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Jamie started her path of music when she was in 7th grade, at the time she wasn’t very interested in music but her school required her to take a music course. She says her choir director gave her a lot of inspiration to pursue music as a career. Aside from her talent of singing, she also play various percussion instruments in high school such as the xylophone, snare drum and bass drum. She also developed skills playing the piano while attending UNO.
A few of her favorite music genres Tran likes are musical theatre, Opera, and classical music. Lately she has been getting more into Jazz music since performing with the UNO Jazz Band. When she’s not in the classroom practicing for her next performance, Tran likes to cover different types of music and adapt it to something different, for example she would take a Classical song and turn it into a Jazz type song and make it her own.
Being a music major isn’t easy, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication, you can listen to the advice she gives to any aspiring to music education and performance in the link below.
