During the era of COVID, various aspects in music (in general) had been declining. My progress in piano became slower, I had completely quit vocal at the time, I was uninterested in taking other musical instruments, etc. However, I was still committed to try and continue piano in order to advance my music journey.

My mom had decided that i need to consistently learn more than 1 instrument (with competitions and performances). Therefore, I have started to take cello tuitions.

I plan to further deepen my understanding of music theory. I want to dedicate as much time to studying theory formatted textbooks that can assist with certain aspects (eg. chord progressions, augmented chords, etc). This also applies to better preparation in music theory when taking my ABRSM exams.

Out of all ABRSM factors, I believe that my sight reading skills is the worst. I occasionally like to write out the notes in my music sheets, therefore needing to improve my sight reading skills to ensure that I can rely less on this and can read music more fluently.
