Piano
~ 2017
Although my main instrument in the conservatory was not the piano, to my surprise, piano supported everything of my life, not only mentally but also financially. It brought me miraculously to many different churches even without being a Christian and without having a diploma of the church musician. I could meet many lovely pupils and their families. I got several opportunities to practice with good grand pianos and I gave piano solo concerts.
By piano, I have learned the beautiful spirituality in Europe which I had not known at all in my homeland. Finally, the playing music became for me nothing more than praying. It became beyond competition, beyond self-blame and critics. Playing music is my contemplation.
