I first started playing piano around the age of 8. Soon later after a few months I had stopped. Then I had moved to North Carolina and forgot about the instrument entirely. Once I turned 13 I had noticed that a piano teacher lived nearby. So I had decided to start playing again because I remember how much fun I used to have. So my passion for piano had been reignited. Then after that I had persistently played everyday with the goal of becoming better. I made fast progress with my early experience. Now I keep playing the piano consistently while balancing school, sports, and other activities. All of my efforts are thanks to my teacher who has really helped me grow and create the pianist I am today.
