[gallery type="slideshow" size="full" ids="156946"] What got you into music, and if you had not gotten into music what would you be doing today? One day I climbed up an old wardrobe to get my great grandfather’s garmon, which was covered in dust for many years after my great grandfather’s passing. It is a Russian button accordion-like instrument, popular in rural villages. My favorite show at that time was “Helen and friends”; I really wanted to play that melody and I tried to do it by ear. My great grandmother heard me and told my mom that she should take me to music school. We found one nearby that taught piano but I wasn’t accepted because of my “old” age. Shortly after we received a call from a cello teacher at the school and she wanted me to study with her. My music lessons then began.
