Ever since I was very young, I have loved music. I began taking both piano and violin lessons when I was 6 and plan to continue studying both throughout college and the rest of my life. I have had many piano and violin teachers. While I have not been able to play piano much in my community and have only placed in a handful of competitions, I did participate in my school orchestra on violin at Sartartia Middle School and am now in the Roanoke Youth Symphony Orchestra. My current teachers for piano and violin and Ms. Melia Garber and Mr. Chavdar Parashkevov respectively. While I am thankful to all of my past music teachers for making me who I am now, these two are especially dear to me. I am very proud to be their student and a musician in general.
