So Winning a Major Competition Isn't Everything.

I found this video on YouTube -very interesting.   It proves that if you have talent -anything is possible.

Sorry I don't know how to embed videos -those icons above mean nothing to me.

This was extremely refreshing!  I can't even explain how much.  For me it's not as much about whether or not she won a competition, but just to see a very down to earth woman, appreciated for the right reasons it seems, exuding intelligence, maturity, honesty, and solid musicianship, married and has a child, excellent pianist, focused on the right things in her endeavor.  Very refreshing, indeed!  Thanks for sharing .

Beautiful artist. She truly understands herself and art...nice to see this rather than just the technical factory-manufacture competition-killing Hunger Games pianists these days (myself kind of in that category, actually, lol.)
