I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the fallout of the
recession （经济衰退）.She said a polite t6no,5.
That didn't stop me. I Googled the measurements fbr a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of
paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and \paper one - keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons.
I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade
one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn't afford lessons again. I passed grade three, then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper.
One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise fbr me; it was an electronic
keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I'd played fbr her. She was in shock.
My school didn't offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School fbr young musicians. The
tryouts （选拔）were difficult. Some of the questions involved an estimation （评价）of the composer （作 曲家）or when it was written. I felt overwhelmed. To my amazement I was offered a place.
At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and saved
enough to buy my first piano.
When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am
now at the Guildhall School in London. I feel proud: ifs been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and Pm at one of the world's leading music schools.
The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano: what we call mental
practice. The paper piano helped spark my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that fonn the pieces.
