My name is Ananya Moulika Sadineni, and I have been playing piano for 7 years.I started learning at the age of 4 with my lovely piano instructor, Ms. Jelena. I love playing the piano because I love listening to music and it also improves my hand and eye coordination. Playing piano also helps me focus better and my memory. The piano lets me express my emotions without speaking. Competing in the Charleston Music Competition is very important for me but also very exciting. It is my first time participating in a competition like this so i am also a bit nervous. Even if I don’t win this competition, I will still be very proud of myself for being a part of it and trying. I hope this will help me become a better pianist and help me be more confident. I am very grateful for my piano instructor Ms. Jelena. She taught me a lot. She helps me improve my confidence and my piano skills. I learn at European Ballet and Piano School (EBPS). Ms. Jelena is also very kind and supportive. However, I have not thought of becoming a piano teacher in the future. Playing the piano will continue being an important part of my life.I still want to continue learning, performing, and competing in competitions like this in the future.The piano made a big impact on my life.
