Kaylen Miles, an 11th grader at Booker T. Washington Magnet High School, says music has always come easy to her.
“When she was in kindergarten, she was always humming around the house, kind of banging on things, just experimenting,” said Bobby Miles, Kaylen’s father.
It wasn’t until she began playing the bass clarinet when she would be noticed by one of her band teachers. “My band director, he came up to me and said, ‘Oh, I have this opportunity for you I nominated you,’” Kaylen recalled.She was selected to perform at Carnegie Hall in New York City, an opportunity Miles didn’t think she would get.Kaylen’s father has been inspired by her daughter and says his kids make her a better person every day.
“I would say, just go for it because if you, kind of, let nerves get in the way, it will never happen,” said Kaylen.If you would like to support her journey, check out her
