About

Official version is here

I really started to play the piano because of my sisters…I had 3 elder sisters, each one using me as a prop-student when they went through their “want to play school teacher” periods. No wonder I knew how to read at age 3…only too bad I read more at age 3 than age 23. However, they all played the piano, and it really was a competition for me to beat them by getting ahead in the piano books.

Soon I found another perk by sitting at the piano. If there was cleaning to do, or if I sensed that I had done something that might make my mother mad, I could sit down and play and nobody would ask anything of me.

  2. Hey Maestro,

    I hope this comment finds you well.

    I’m so impressed with your performance (on youku) of Ride of the Cossacks! I really hope I can get to know you and you can give me some guidance– I played violin since I’m seven, but I’m now very keen on composition. I’ve written around 11 pieces so far, and I’m attending the composition program of Interlochen Arts Camp (Michigan, USA). I currently live in Shanghai, China; and have two more years of high school.

    Thank you, and here is some of my music: http://thesixtyone.com/sam1010.

    Best regards,
    Sam

  3. I love this … you’re a Tengstrand alright!!!
    Always thinking of you.
    Love to you and Shan-Shan, Nancy
