Chase began his musical journey at the age of four, where he first discovered the joy of the piano through festive holiday carols. After a brief hiatus, his passion for the instrument was reignited last year after being inspired by the performance of a classmate. Since returning to his studies with a new teacher, Chase has developed a deep affinity for the Classical and Romantic eras, often spending his car rides immersed in the works of Mozart and Chopin. His current ambition is to master Mozart’s “Turkish March,” a piece that captured his imagination and drives his daily practice
