Music

I am professionally trained as a classical pianist, so the music I mainly played are classical ones, such as Beethoven Sonata, Chopin Nocturne, Rachmaninoff Preludes etc. But I play other genres such as pop song, folk music and some jazz, too. Because I love all kinds of music! On top of that, I often collaborate with other instrumentalists and singers to play chamber music, and we play mainly classical music, but also do all other types of music. For example, once I collaborated with one of my singer friends and recorded a beautiful folk song in the mountains of Colorado when we were in Aspen music festival and school, which was a very fun experience!
