ABOUT

For most of my life, I have been studying classical piano. At the age of 12 or 13, I began to compose music on my own as a means of creative expression. I did not realize the great impact this would have on me. Piano composition has become something that allows me to share my thoughts and feelings with the world without words. As my relationship with classical music grew, I became aware that most people today, especially young people, do not listen to classical music. The pacing and progression of classically composed songs take time to build and are slower paced, but many people today crave fast-paced music to match our fast-paced world. I hope to change this stigma surrounding classical music as "outdated" by introducing modern chord progressions that are found in the majority of pop and alternative songs. By combining the structural elements of classical music and the chord progressions of today's popular songs, I hope to bring new life to classical music and its listeners.
