Introduction
Originally from China, I went to France in 2018 for Master studies in Engineering.
I graduated in 2021 and started working as a software developer in Nice, France. At the same time, I started my organ lessons.
Without any previous music training, I made a relatively quick progress in organ playing and music knowledge. The fact that organ playing works very well with programmer's brain and the passion in organ music made my progress very smooth.
In Aug. 2025, I moved from France to the USA, my organ learning was on pause for a few months until April 2026 when I restarted my lessons regularly at St. John Cantius Church in Chicago.
