“Still feeling both surreal and awestruck as I recall watching my little Laura performed at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Budapest, Hungary, alongside a professional orchestra!

So many memories flood back—waking up to the chirping of birds as our natural clock , those early morning practice sessions at 7am before the masterclasses , enjoyable evenings filled with laughter and alcohol drinks among the ladies, the wonderful mingling sessions for the kids and the cultural appreciation moments. It all became such a cherished memories. This trip to Budapest has been an incredibly fruitful journey in both cello learning and in building lasting friendships among the teacher, parents and children.

A heartfelt thank you to Teacher Natasha Liu for making this miracle happen . Although the learning trip lasted only a week, the impact on Laura’s musical journey will surely last for a lifetime”
