The moment my fingertips grazed the soft, white keys of a piano, there was no turning back. I practiced, mastered, and interpreted music from a young age, having a rare ability to memorize music after reading it only once. I cycled multiple preceptors before actually settling, which made my piano journey far from easy. It took extreme determination and hard work to get to where I am today, however above all, it took love.
I absolutely adore playing the piano, often practicing for hours straight unknowingly. The piano is my safe space; a place to let out emotions while creating beautiful art. I won multiple competitions and awards, however passion was always the driving force of my achievements. It brings me immense joy, and now I want to share this happiness with the world. The piano isn’t just an instrument to me; it is a part of who I am.
