Since I started playing piano at the age of 5, my life has greatly improved for the better. My first introduction to piano was with my preschool teacher, who taught me the basics of how to play the piano and sparked my curiosity for music. Playing the piano has taught me invaluable life lessons such as discipline, patience, and perseverance. Throughout my consistent practice and performances, I have learned how to express myself through this art form.
