Artist Spotlight: Eric Wong

This edition of Artist Spotlight features Year 10 music student Eric Wong playing two pieces of music on piano.

Eric has been playing piano for 10 years (since he was six years old). He started lessons with Ms Marie Cull and as he progressed to Grade 5 AMEB he switched teachers to Elena Nikulina.

Eric practises the piano two hours a day. He likes romantic and classical music, however he still enjoys the music of Bach and the more exciting parts of Beethoven. Eric’s favourite composer is fully debatable due to the scope of composers he listens to, however he enjoys Liszt, even though he does not play his work.

In classroom music, Eric enjoys listening to other students perform and the opportunity to perform with them. He enjoys the challenge of learning new repertoire and is currently preparing for his AMUS exam which he will be undertaking later in June.

After his time at Radford, Eric plans on going to university and is undecided on what he will study. Outside of music, Eric enjoys socialising with his friends and engaging with IT.
