Meet the Editors Julia Brooks Hello, my name is Julia Brooks, and I’m an editor for Musical Marvels and a student at LASA. While making this magazine, I learned and wrote about the effects that musical education has on students and teachers. I have a personal connection to this topic because I have played the piano since an early age, and I plan to continue learning it. Music has a tremendous impact on my life, and I had a great time interacting with various other music students and teachers, so I hope you enjoy this magazine!
Hey there! My name is Chanell Waller, and I’m a freshman at LASA. I really enjoy making art, specifically portraits and animated characters, and I hope to continue with it. My enthusiasm for art inspired all of my designs in this magazine. As an editor in Musical Marvels, I wrote about the role of music in church. I interviewed a number of church musicians, and I learned about their experiences with music. As you read this magazine, I hope you get to explore the world of music in churches!

Hey, I’m Ailia Zhao, a LASA student and editor of Musical Marvels. I have a deep interest in anatomy and biology, and I hope to pursue a career in the medical field. In our magazine, I focused on live music in Austin, specifically on the Austin City Limits Festival. I’ve played the piano and viola, and have danced ever since I was a child, so music has always been a big part of my life. This magazine was extremely fun to create, and I hope you enjoy it! Happy reading!
Piper Chen Hi! I’m Piper Chen and a student at LASA. I have always had a love for math, especially geometry. I hope to pursue a career in architecture so I can continue to explore this field of math. Acting has also been a creative outlet for me since elementary school, and I wish to continue acting on the side.
