“For me, playing the piano is something special, it is my life and more. It is infinity. The piano sound is for me the best way to show my own feelings. I don’t have a piano at home, so I practice at my school for 5-6 hours a day. I’ve never been frustrated with practicing, and have always found it interesting, and I believe that when someone loves music, they love practicing too. It is important how pianists understand practicing. It is a way to help you improve your emotion. Unlike others, I started studying piano sort of late, at 13 years old. But I’ve never found it to be a problem. I was psychologically more ready to learn at a later age, so starting at a more mature age has its advantages. Maybe it is too late to start at 20 years old, but if someone is fond of music, one can achieve great results by practicing for hours. One other thing that helps me play is the culture of my home country, Georgia. It’s a country with ancient civilization, and I invite everyone to get to know it. “
