Jazz Piano
With the help of my grandfather, I began playing the jazz piano. During my childhood, we often played music together in the basement of his house—he played the guitar, while I played the piano.
He always said, “Music is the best thing in life.” His love for music has influenced me a lot. Today, playing or listening to piano music remains the best way for me to deal with stress and sadness.
