I have been playing for over 11 years now. I began when I was in the 2nd grade and havent stopped it, I fell in love with it!!

Throughout the years of my studies I participated in different musical festivals: Monterey Jazz festival, Baroque music festivals, and Festivals of Russian and Spanish music. Read More
