Summary
My journey with piano began at 4 years of age. Over the years, I've competed in many piano competitions and won numerous awards both national and international. Notable ones include Wallace National Junior Piano competition Third place prize winner (New Zealand), Imola Piano festival finalist (Italy) and Ronisch Piano Competition finalist (New Zealand). I have attended many piano masterclasses with world renowned pianists and teachers. Throughout my experiences, I have developed not only technical proficiency but also a deep appreciation for the emotional and expressive power of music.
