In 2017, I began private lessons with a different teacher, and my most notable achievement was earning a perfect score at the NYSSMA festival (Level 4). However, I quit for 2 years during COVID. In 2023, I became interested in piano again and found another private teacher (current) I have been working with for one year. So far, I have completed one recital hosted by him. In addition, I currently attend Stuyvesant High School and I have been in the Stuyvesant choir for 2 years. I currently sing bass in the Men's Choir. Although I am not the best, I always make significant progress in my skills musically and vocally.
