I started playing music when I was five years old. My parents used to drive me to piano classes, but the experience wasn’t very good. Later, I took private lessons at a music teacher’s house. She was very strict and cranky, but I worked hard and continued to learn.
After a couple of years, my parents found my current teacher, who comes to our house to teach me along with my three brothers. Through these lessons, I’ve grown to love music more and more as I play and let it sync with my heart.
