  I learned through tutorials on your website and I also watched videos on YouTube.

• What inspired you to learn how to play the kalimba?:

  One day as I was browsing through my phone, I saw a video of someone playing the kalimba and from there, I became more and more interested in this instrument until I had my first one. It was around December 2020 when I got my first kalimba. I also created a YouTube channel so I could track my progress.

• What was the first piece you learned?:

  The first song I learned to play on a kalimba was "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. It's one of my favorite songs.

• How many instruments do you play and what are they?:

  Aside from kalimba, I also play the guitar. I've been playing it since I was 15 years old.

• Which famous musicians do you admire? Why?:

  Taylor Swift. Her songs inspire me. SHE inspires me. I became interested in music and started learning to play the guitar because of her.

• Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of music?:

  I also do clay art and painting sometimes.

• If you could give someone learning the kalimba a piece of advice that helped you the most, what would it be?:

  Practice a song that you really like or you're familiar with. Take note that you don't have to play it fast because it will only take longer to learn if you do. Just take it easy.
  Remember that it takes time to learn something new, so do not pressure yourself. You'll get there, too 🙂
