I began learning piano in kindergarten, and it has been my primary instrument ever since. Piano laid the foundation for my musical training and continues to be an essential part of my life. Two years ago, I began studying the flute as my second instrument, which broadened my musical experience and strengthened my overall musicianship.
I enjoy a wide range of music, including Classical, Romantic, modern, and pop styles. I am inspired by composers such as Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, and Chopin, as well as contemporary artists like Jay Chou and VK克. I hope to continue developing my musical skills and pursuing my passion for music in the future.
