My Music
Music has always been my passion. I started learning the piano at the age of 5, and after watching “Amadeus” at age 6 I declared to my parents that I wanted to compose music just like Mozart did. A few days later I finished my first composition, although understandably it did not end up anywhere near his level of quality! Fast-forwarding to the present, we find that I’ve received my ARCT in Piano Performance from the RCM and that I’m still composing away. Some of my pieces have been uploaded onto the web, and in many cases you can download them. A few of my compositions have Creative Commons licensing, while others you can lease.
