I have the academic and artistic goals of becoming an accomplished composer. My high school and undergraduate studies have given me knowledge in instrument playing, music theory, classical composition and computer music composition. For me, playing an instrument is the foundation of composition. As a Chinese, I am fond of the traditional music of my country and I think that bridges can be built between cultures, as has been shown by other composers sharing the two traditions.
