I started learning piano at the age of six because I was drawn to the peaceful, classical music I’d hear on the radio. At first, it was just something I picked up for fun, but the more I played, the more I connected with it. Practicing became a way for me to focus, relax, and express emotions I didn’t really know how to put into words. I love the challenge of learning new pieces and the satisfaction that comes with improving. Over time, what began as a simple hobby has grown into something I’m genuinely passionate about.
