Starting
from 12 years old studying in Yamaha Music Foundation majoring Electone
music instrument and finished after 5 years, I directly moved on
intermediate level in piano instruments to learn more about classic,
pop, and jazz.
I began my first international concert in Auckland, New Zealand in
front of Governor of Auckland in January 1992 as participant from
Indonesia in International Festival of Genuine Culture Exchage –
Rotorua, New Zealand. I played many traditional music instruments from
Indonesia like Angklung, Calung, and Seruling before finally got on
stage to play Indonesia’s traditional songs in Piano.
After success in New Zealand I went to Netherland for joining
Internationale Folkloristisch Festival “Op Roakeldais” – Raalte,
Warfum, and Enschede.
In Indonesia, the best keyboardist award was given in 1996 in Campus
Festival in Central Java. Besides being a piano player for campus choir
in Diponegoro University for 2 years, I also love to sing and achieved
third in Singing Festival in Asembaris Jakarta which is this is the
only singing festival I have ever registered
For the last 3 years I have been teaching privately for Piano lessons
for Children and Adult. My youngest student was 4 years old and the
oldest was 83 years old.
Now I am focusing in sharing knowledge in a bigger community for musicians in the internet.
