Thanks! Thank you so much for your inspiration! I'm a 17-year-old girl and a junior in high school. I've played piano since 2nd grade and I sing in our school's advanced chorus. Your music and songs are wonderful! A friend introduced them to me and I fell in love instantly. I love all the expression and feeling you put into your music, and it inspired me to become more expressive in my playing and singing. Thank you so much! What you do is really awesome. You're a wonderful role model for any aspiring pianist. Thank you! :D Submitted By: Kristina
