About Me
My name is Saurabh Kumar. I am a Senior at Guilderland High School in upstate New York. I am taking part in the e = mc² program, an independent research class centered around inquiry and self-designed assignments. Over the course of this school year, I am challenging myself to explore luthiery and build a cello. Although music has always been a huge part of my life, luthiery is something I am largely unfamiliar with. I have sung for about 9 years in choral settings both at my school and with other choirs including NYSSMA Area All-State and Albany Pro Musica. I also started playing cello when I was about 10 years old and now play both cello and upright bass. In addition to playing and singing, I hope to pursue a career in musical composition perhaps one day writing film scores. Although constructing a cello will be totally foreign to me, I look forward to delving into this new artform and hopefully finishing with something incredible that I can be proud of.² ²
