Acceptance to Manhattan School of Music BM in Piano Performance
Acceptance to Peabody and Oberlin Conservatory BM in Piano Performance
I still can’t believe I’m actually graduating and how much I’ve grown in these four years, especially during this audition-prep journey.
The improvements I made as a pianist are definitely beyond my imagination and I’m truly grateful for all your support. A huge THANK YOU to you and Maria! ❤️
