I am originally from Kyrgyzstan and since my childhood I\u2019ve been very curious and interested in different kinds of activities. During my school days I considered myself to be a nerd because I was never the type of person who hung out a lot with other kids or partied hard. Being a good student was always a priority for me and I spent a lot of time studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also had a strong desire to learn music, particularly to play piano and dance. So right after school every day I always rushed to either music or dance school. I was practicing piano, dance, and other activities the whole afternoon, so it\u2019s not surprising that I usually arrived at home around 10 pm -and then I did my homework late into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started to play the piano when I was 12, which is considered to be quite late for musicians. Typically, people start to learn at 6 or 7, yet somehow my devotion to music let me finish 7 years of music school in 3.5 years because I loved it so much. During weekends I was either studying or enjoying time playing the piano which kept me pretty busy from my school days up to my time at university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this time my teachers were always nudging me to study music more deeply, but I never considered it as a profession, because it\u2019s pretty hard to finance yourself with music and there are lots of other really talented musicians. I planned to stop my music education when I finished music school, but luckily my teacher insisted that I continue studying. It turned out that I liked music college as much as I did music school because it showed me how to understand music at a deeper, professional level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these years I dove deeper into musical techniques and went to different countries for competitions. These travels led me to meeting one of the best teachers and I think the whole music world just opened up to me then. I was surrounded by truly talented and interesting people and the four years I spent at music college was one of the best periods in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After my third year of music college, I was accepted to the Kazakhstan university Bachelor program and needed to move and again. I was going to quit music college before my last year of studies, but again, my teachers urged me to continue by transitioning to semi-distance learning. This meant coming on weekends, passing exams, and taking new materials for study. I agreed to try it because the university was only 4 hours from my home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back, I wonder how I did it, but at the time it didn\u2019t seem so hard. I managed to go home every weekend just to pass exams. I think when you really love and enjoy doing something, you don\u2019t feel fatigue, fear, or doubt. That\u2019s what music did to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All my hard work was worth it too because my final performance was given at a Rachmaninoff concert which is always on my mind. The memories, feelings, and emotions from that evening are always with me when I need them. Unfortunately, I did not go further at the conservatory, but I still played at my university when I had the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I moved to Prague, I really missed playing so I found a music school that let me teach. Whenever I feel lost, or am having difficult times, I return to music. It always brings me back to myself, my soul, to who I truly am. I think it\u2019s wonderful and very important to find your own passion no matter what it is. Something close to your heart which will be a reliable companion throughout your whole life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8211; Aigerim Kerimbekova<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Stories &#8211; Aigerim Kerimbekova I always try to find the time and energy to do what satisfies my soul and I share this advice whenever I have the chance.
