ALL ABOUT

The

Music

I enjoy playing the piano because through my music, I help to give back not only to myself as a coping tool for tough times, but also to others to help alleviate their mood and help take their mind off the realities/annoyances of life.

“I gravitated quickly towards this instrument and have been playing ever since my 7th birthday.”

As my parents were exploring new interests for me, they decided that I may enjoy the piano and started taking me to piano lessons at a local music center. They were definitely right, as I gravitated quickly towards this instrument and have been playing ever since my 7th birthday.
