Jasmine S (RST)

Bio
Jasmine Staniforth is a grade 10 academic student who joined the High School Instrumental Class at the beginning of the 2019 new school year. She had never played alto sax before, so she was placed with the beginner students, learning the basics of the instrument. Since then, she has naturally, with some other instrumental beginner students, evolved into starting more of the intermediate songs, contributing to the other group of students more. She had originally played bass clarinet in the 7/8 instrumental class, but nothing after that. She has a natural talent with any sort of arts subjects, mainly because she enjoys learning hands on.
