Hi! My name is Leah Varisova, and I’ve been playing the piano since I was very young. I’ve always loved practicing and learning new techniques, even the hard stuff like scales and finger exercises. It’s fun for me to see how much I can improve with focus and time.
Each week, I also study solfege and music theory. These help me understand how music works and make it easier to learn new songs. One of my favorite things to do is write my own music. Composing lets me be creative and express how I feel through sound. Piano is more than just an instrument to me—it’s one of my favorite ways to tell a story.
You can find Leah’s 18th Century Music Competition 2024 piano performance here.
