Journey of Music
I started playing the cello when I was 8 years old and currently I am under the tutelage of Mrs. Kyong Hwa Kim, and n the California Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. I also play in my school's orchestra. When I am not doing cello, I also like to play piano which I have placed in several competitions. I also like to be involved with the community by being a member of the Academy of Music and Arts for Special Education where I participate in helping kids with special needs in learning music and art.
