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.)
