3. At what age did you start studying music?

    14

4. Why did you choose this instrument?

My mother was the person who first got me interested in the piano. A friend of the family had given us a piano. I took lessons with my two younger brothers.

5. Why do you enjoy playing this instrument?

I find it very relaxing. Even though I haven't taken lessons in quite a long time, I can always sit down at the piano and play. Now with a new baby, the music is very soothing to him as well.

Reading music can be challenging when you don't play for a while. The interaction with your left and right hands, always moving and keeping with the rhythm.

The Entertainer, Doe a Deer.
I like to play current "pop" music so everyone can join in and enjoy.
