Why do you love to perform?
My hands hesitate before touching the keys, the silence a breathless anticipation of the sound they call music. For barely a moment the stillness drifts in the air unshaped. Then, my fingers caressing the keys, I begin to play. Each time I play piano, I partake in the joy of music. While performing, that joy is shared with every listener. I love performing because of the human connection and expression that music brings.
