"I'm on my 2nd year right now. I love learning as much music as possible and new instruments, so this is part of my efforts to do so. And Chinese music, I've been listening to it for many years now, traditional music especially. And so I thought at HEM it was a great opportunity to go ahead and try to learn something."
