Hi, my name is Claire Jung. I am a 5th grader at A2 STEAM Elementary school, Ann Arbor MI. I started learning piano at five and have been studying in Lee studio for three years. I started to become a fan of classical music when I found I was not struggling with sight reading and counting beats. I simply feel the way to translate music notes to music fascinating. When I play the piano, all my stress disappears and it feels like it’s just me and the piano. It’s so nice. I learn a lot from Ms. Lee on how to touch keys, add colors, express feelings and most important enjoy music. I am learning Violin as my second music instrument. Thanks to piano, I find to learn Violin is not that difficult as I felt with piano at the beginning. In addition to music, I like Field hockey and Taekwondo.
Watch Claire Haram Jung perform Sonatina Op. 36, No.2 Allegro by Muzio Clementi on the piano for the 2025 Spring Music Competition as part of the Charleston International Music Competition.
