Inspiration.

Who knew that searching up colleges, IB programs, and information on PSAT and SAT prep would lead me to finding my inspiration? Her name is Yling Tran. She is currently a junior in the University Of Southern Thornton School Of Music in Los Angeles, California. He is exactly what I who I want to be; a professional pianist/teacher, an IB diplomat, and recognized in all over for my hard work.
When I first found her web page, the first thing that caught my eye was the list of movements and classical pieces listed that of which she has played in programs, performances, and recitals. That really got me interested for I am also a pianist myself and love music. I love all kinds of music. It’s usually the one thing that could keep my still and flow at my mind. I feel as if I can carry myself into the clouds and feel weightless. Yling has been playing for probably her whole life. Even if I do not know when she started, I do know that in 8th grade, she was a soloist in a masters class, WSMTA Adjustifications, and in Donna Sams’ Piano Studio Showcase recitals. She also won the seal of Special Recognition for thorough preparation and excellence at the Seattle Young Artists Music Festival Complete program, and second place in the 8th grade division of the Washington Eastside Chapter Scholarship Program. She is also a teacher of five students. She is limited of 5 because of her IB diploma requirements and the other time she has for extracurricular activities. I am also a teacher of 5 students currently, but I’ve only been teaching for not even a year. She inspires me so much that I could be a professional pianist and an ambitious teacher. A dream of mine is to play in the Paramount Theatre of Seattle for a play being a piano soloist. I know that one day, I will do that.
