"I’ve been playing piano since I was about 7. I remember coming home from school one day and being excited about playing the viola, since that was the instrumentI got to hold when the 5th grade orchestra teacher came to our classroom. I think my parents were scared of the wretched sounds I was destined to make and directed me to the old upright piano we had in our living room. It was the piano my mother learned to play on and it’s still around today, though it doesn’t see much action." - SYML explains.
