Hello world, How have your been? May 6, 2023 marked an important day in my life. Through the generosity of the harpsichord builder, Knight Vernon, I have the privilege to use his “Big Red” in my studio. What an honor this was! I learned how to play the harpsichord...

Hi World,  How have you all been doing? Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to President Biden said we are out of the acute phase of COVID. Although there are still a lot of cases worldwide, the US is not in the accelerated outbreak anymore. What a...

Hi world,  If I tell you I like the pandemic somehow, will you think I am out of my mind?  Last Wednesday, I did a painting with Artist’s Palette Durham on YouTube. It was so much fun and relaxing. If it was not because of the pandemic, I would not have the...

Hello world, I hope you are all doing well during this unprecedented time. For the past five months, I have been through many emotions. Fear, anxiety, happiness, sadness, and relief were among them. I realized what the most important thing is in life, which is health....

I have never imagined I would do a presentation about video game and anime music, but I did it today! I am not a game player, but I do enjoy its music. I played Mario when I was young, but I was never good at it. This new trend opened up my ears and I realized...

It felt so good to return to First Presbyterian Church at Caro today. I performed there in October of 2018, and today, it felt even better since their 1904 Steinway model A piano has undergone some work. The sound and action has improved so much. It is a blessing to...

Dear World,  I have an exciting news! Two years ago, internationally renown artist, Lily Lihting Li Kostrzewa and I collaborated on a project. I played pieces by Chinese composer, Tan Dun, Eight Memories in Watercolor, and she created watercolor paintings to the...

Hello world,  I have been enjoying the summer. The weather finally warms up and we can barbecue outside. Most of my private students are taking lessons. I have been busy with teaching and driving my girls to tennis classes almost everyday. They are getting a nice...

I have been very busy these past two weeks. However, I still was able to find time to practice for recitals and also go to an art camp. I played in two chamber recitals in the same day - one with a very talented flutist Carina Gallagher and another with a great...

Last week, I signed up for Adult Art Camp at SVSU. It was the best week of 2019 so far for me! Not only did I have a lot of fun, but I also found a new hobby. Every day, I learned something new and the feeling was terrific! It rejuvenated my soul as I concentrated on...

I'm slowly figuring out how to make the website. It seems like a great place to put all my ideas and everything. Recently, I've been accompanying for several students. Let me know if you are in need of an accompanist! No last minute calls though 🙂

Hi, thank you so much for joining me!  I hope you enjoy my NEW website!  I just wanted to share a nice quote I stumbled upon while creating my site.  "Beware of missing chances; otherwise it may be altogether too late some day." — Franz Liszt I will be taking all the...
