Music
Hey there! If you're interested in learning a little more about me, this page is dedicated to my experience with music, especially as a cellist.
I began learning piano at five years old but eventually quit to pursue cello as my main instrument. I don't regret this decision as cello has opened so many doors for me, but I still sometimes play piano when I have the chance. Recently, I started teaching myself how to play guitar.
