I started playing the piano at the age of six and quickly developed a passion for it, feeling drawn to the expressiveness and variety the instrument offers. Over the years, through diligent practice, and for sheer pleasure, I have continued my musical journey, diving deeper into piano and also branching off to other instruments. On piano, I enjoy playing pieces from romantic and classical era composers, such as Chopin, Beethoven, or Liszt. Additionally, I often play piano covers for famous movie songs, such as Frozen’s “Let It Go,” or “The Imperial March” from Star Wars. Music isn’t just something I do, it’s part of who I am and I plan on growing with it through the rest of my life.
