Me as a Mom, Pianist in 2018

Last year, a lot of performance opportunities were there for me to take on.
I am a mother of 3, 6, 3, and 2.
I don’t rely on babysitters and housekeepers, my side of family are all living back in Taiwan. I’m very grateful my husband’s mom helps out when she is free.
Often my husband and I bring the kids with us for the concerts. It takes my nerve away before going on stage.
At the end of 2018, I did manage with 3 kids alone in Taipei and gave 2 lecture concerts.

I am happy to say that I am capable of it.

This year, I will be focusing on teaching, practicing, and performing in the 2nd half of the year.
