I grew up surrounded by the gentle melodies of the piano, as my two older brothers delved into learning the instrument during my early years. Inspired by their dedication, I eagerly followed in their footsteps, starting my own piano lessons at the age of six. It was through these lessons that I developed a profound love for classical music. Liszt, Chopin, Brahms, and Rachmaninoff quickly became my musical heroes, with Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 holding a special place in my heart as my all-time favorite piece. Now, I find myself on the brink of sharing my own musical journey, hoping to make my mark in the world of classical music through the keys of the piano.
