SPONSORED BY IN TUNE

GAËL THOMAS ASNANI

Gaël is a second grader at Seth Boyden and is seven and a half years old. He plays the Loog guitar, an instrument he has been learning for about six months. Gaël enjoys dis covering new chords, practicing different techniques, and even writing his own songs. His interest in music began when he watched his older sister, Uma, play the piano, which inspired him to choose an instrument of his own.

In addition to guitar, Gaël hopes to learn the drums one day. He already loves playing the bon gos and thinks the drums might be easier to pick up because of the rhythm skills he’s been building. When he’s not mak ing music, Gaël stays active with soccer, tennis, swimming, and biking. At school, his favorite subject is science, where he en joys exploring how things work.

LYDIA JOHNSON

Gaël’s favorite band is Imagine Dragons because he loves their songs and the way they use so many different instru ments. Their music motivates him to keep practicing and dreaming about the musician he hopes to become.
