I started piano lessons at the age of 5. When I was in 4th grade I conducted a community service project, performing 17 recitals at 5 various nursing homes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYnqP9FzdMo). I am also a part of the Federation of Music Clubs, and I achieved 8 consecutive years of superior ratings and earned 2 gold cups. Aside from competing, playing piano has been my pastime and a huge passion of mine. I have also been volunteering as a pianist at my Church every Saturday since 7th grade. Giving back to the community is very fulfilling.
