Piano Performance:
I've had the awesome opportunity to have a Boston baby-grand piano at home, and have done my best to take advantage of that. At around age eleven, I found that I enjoyed creating short pieces of music at the piano, which lead to piano lessons at Bravura Music School, beginning around age twelve and continuing until now. Even as I compose for a full orchestra, I find that my best music usually originates from the piano or is heavily inspired by it. Because of this, I am planing on releasing a solo piano album of original compositions in the near future, something that I have wanted to do for a long time.
Composition:
My introduction to composing orchestral music came from GarageBand around age 14, and since that point, I have slowly accumulated various sample libraries and tools that have helped me take my compositions to the next level. Although I did take lessons on navigating my DAW (Ableton Live 9), I did't receive any formal training in composition until this year (2019). But through countless google searches, forum posts on VI-Control, and trial-and-error, I was able to develop the skills I needed to advance the quality of my compositions. All of this work is culminated in my debut album, which will released very soon.
Thoughts? Too long? Too personal? I'm not just asking, I really have no reference on if this is suitable or not. Thanks in advance.
