Naomi is a seven-year-old piano student who began her musical journey at the European School of Music when she was five years old. Since then, her passion for music has blossomed, inspired by the performances she enjoys watching with her family and by her musical hero, Lang Lang. Naomi practices daily and loves discovering the melodies, emotions, and stories behind each piece she learns.
Naomi is already an award-winning young pianist. She won the Gold Prize at the UK Schubert International Competition and advanced to the second round of the BMTG Intercontinental Competition, where she will compete this September.
Music has become a cherished part of her life, and her enthusiasm, curiosity, and dedication continue to grow as she develops as a young musician.
