Crystal began studying piano with Dr. Yuking Chou Brandenburgh in the fall of 2024. Alongside her growing love of music, Crystal enjoys farm life, riding in the tractors with her family, riding her bike, and reading. She also loves spending time with her sisters and playing with her little brother. Together with her sisters, she helped found Grace Keys, a music ministry through which they hope to draw others closer to God through the beauty of piano music. For Crystal, music is an opportunity to share her gifts, express her faith, and serve God.
