I am Joshua Shi, a current sophomore attending Mission San Jose High School in Fremont, California. I have studied piano for ten years, and my current piano teacher is Dr. Jed Galant. In 2015, I won first place in both the US Open Showcase Solo competition and the East Bay Music Festival. I have also won other awards from many piano competitions. Last year, I was selected to play at the Junior Bach Music Festival and participate in the Bach in the Subways movement. I have been a regular piano performer at various local nursing homes and have even coordinated a children’s concert at the library through music clubs such as MSJHS Impromptu and MSSL.
