My name is Avaal Katyal. I am 13 years old and have been playing the piano since I was 5. I am currently in 8th grade at West Cary Middle School. Throughout my piano journey, I have participated in various competitions, performed at retirement homes, and taken part in many recitals. I love playing the piano because it helps me relax, and I enjoy learning new pieces. I especially like music from the Romantic period and enjoy playing different Tarantellas.
