Learning Journey

I have been learning the piano at Presto Studios for five years, and I am currently working at the Grade 8 level. Early on, I really struggled with sight-reading—I had so much difficulty reading even Grade 1 pieces with my hands together! I also had to work hard to bridge the technical gap of playing advanced pieces with true musicality. Beyond just learning music, my time at Presto has helped me evolve into a much more responsible student. While I used to struggle with my schedule and occasionally missed classes, I have become much more consistent, disciplined, and committed to my learning journey.

Special Moments

The major turning point for me was in 2025 when I achieved a Merit in my Grade 7 practical exam. That milestone gave me a great sense of accomplishment! My most significant win since then has been the incredible improvement in my reading skills. Throughout my lessons, I’ve been exploring a lot of supplementary repertoire, including Christmas songs, Disney tunes, and popular hits. Today, I am proud to say that I can sight-read these pieces with ease and comfort. I also loved having the opportunity to share my music through solo performances at the 2025 Awards Reception and the 2026 YTS showcase!
