Growing older I began to teach myself songs that I wanted to learn and more about the theory behind music. It can be a battle at first when you teach yourself things, but as time moves forward you began to understand. In my early junior high school years, I became more in love

What is a piano? A lumbering hunk of wood and metal where I spend long, grueling hours until exhaustion sets in? People often ask why a teenager such as myself would put in so much time and effort into the pursuit of the perfect sound, when he could attend to some “serious” business or have fun. Every musician has his own peculiar combination of driving forces, ranging from curiosity to arrogance. But each in our own way, we carry the music within
“Today is the oldest you’ve ever been, and the youngest you’ll ever be again.” A quote I wished I understood when I was much younger. Looking back, I missed out on a lot of opportunities that can shape me into a better person with skills that will serve me well in the future.
