Miscellaneous highlights:

I've sang backup to Anne & Nancy Wilson with their Lovemongers band at a concert, performed Beethoven's 9th Symphony with the Seattle Orchestra, sang on the Christmas ships, and studied everything from Mozart, Beethoven, Stravinsky, Bernstein, Strauss, Gershwin, Dvorak, Chopin, etc.

My whole point, I couldn't have done this well in music without grasping a solid foundation on piano. I firmly believe it all starts with piano. And boy, it was fun times! You could have an amazing career in music too! It all starts with a great teacher and fun lessons.
