Jade in HISTORY, year 2018


Playing piano makes me happy. Playing duets makes me extra happy!

This duet was taking Jade approximately 1 month to master, along with her Level 10 test pieces the same time. This is relatively easy for her. She jokingly told me not to make mistakes before the video! Hahah, that is because I was having a hard time turning the page twice and playing at the same time !!

Today (July of 2023) I got a text from his dad that he had been accepted into the “Junior Scholar Program” at middle school. I am so proud of him !!
