This will be my first ever ticketed solo recital. It’s taken many years before I feel confident enough to organize one on my own.

There’s some stories and meaning behind each piece chosen and I can’t wait to celebrate and share it with you on the 28th, together with the amazing Kitty and Liu Jia!=)

I've always wanted to play this chamber piece ever since I first came across it at Eastman back in 2007. Can't believe after 11 years, I finally get to learn and perform it with these two amazing musicians, Liu Jia and Kitty!

#workinprogress with dear Liu Jia! Counting down to Oct 28th!💪🏻🎻🎹🎻

First practice together for Prokofiev! The best practice attire is in PJs🤩🤣😍

First rehearsal together as one! ❤️ I am at a loss for words to be able to make music together with Liu Jia and Kitty 🙏🏻😭

Music brings back memories; the good, the bad and the rough times. The music in this particular movement is closest to my heart and it has taught me to find solace in times of adversity and grief ever since my dearest mentor, Zvi Zeitlin passed away in 2012.

🎻 I would love to share it with you guys on Oct 28th🙏🏻

I’ll be having a series of #tryit posts that I would love to share=)

This method has worked so far in reminding my little ones to keep the violin leveled:

To point Mr Strawberry or you-name-it towards the music and not let him, or any other cute characters of their choice fall down🤣😍🤩

Get some cute paper sticker bookmarker, or even get them to draw their own characters if they wish!
Use washi tape to secure it to the scroll so it doesn’t “damage” it.
Monitor the results and see if they have been reminding themselves during their own practice sessions.

Gotta constantly create what works for them individually. Try it!😄
