Marie started high school in a town which was some kilometers away from home, where she attended a two years financial course, because she was not accepted in the music course she wanted due to her poor grades. Soon she realized that she was going the wrong way, so she accepted a job as a gardener’s apprentice, which she found more creative. But again she was not happy with this work, so she asked the school to help her to find a music high school, and finally a music course in Svalöv accepted her. There she also discovered a new world, jazz music.
