Hello, I am Arsh Jha, a 9th grade student at Panther Creek High school, Cary, North Carolina USA. My journey with piano began when I was 4 and ½ years old and have since then I have continuously grown my technique and ability to play to the level when I not only play but feel immersed in the dynamic, tempo, literature behind the pieces I play. I am currently at the Senior A level in the National Guild Program at USA, planning to pursue Diploma in Piano by 11th grade. I have been competing in city and state Ievel competitions across various states Oregon, California and now North Carolina since age 5 and have won many competitions in Classical, Baroque and Contemporary. I have always had a passion for piano, and it has taught me discipline, concentration, and perseverance, traits that define who I am today. Piano has a great impact on my life, and it is an honor to be carrying my passion to be part of the Charleston International Music Competition representing my country and learning from my peer competitors and judges.
