I started my journey on the violin when I was 9 years old. I have a wonderful teacher who is somehow able to make the world of music appear incredibly big and great from her humble, small studio. I believe that music is special because it connects people together through time and life experiences.
I have had the opportunity to perform solos, duets, and chamber pieces at venues in Massachusetts, New York, and Japan. During my school district’s Junior District Festival in Massachusetts, I was selected as the concertmaster and valued the connections I made with other musicans. I also play the piano as my second instrument and hope to continue my classical music studies for as long as possible.
