Accepted for Julliard's pre-college program at age eight.

Yeah, my life was a complete failure by the time I was ten. I'm now sixty five. I'm going to start the day's drinking now.

In addition to her (now almost 300k) YouTube subscribers, Tiffany has over 600 Patreon patrons (including me), which is a relatively large number among Patreon artists. She also loves Steinway & Sons pianos, and has a Steinway Model B in her apartment that Steinway loaned to her last year. This Saturday, she will be performing a livestream concert for her Patreon patrons on that Model B, that will include many of the Robert & Clara Schumann works that she hopes to include in the new album she is working on. I'm not sure, but I think this Sonata No.2 in G Minor may be on the album.

Not to worry, Steve; plenty of time yet. Look at me: 66 years old, and I'm looking for things to get better any day now.

R-man: She's so very talented. A pleasure to watch and listen to.

Very nice, indeed! Well played.

Oh wow! I read her bio. She did all that AND found time to get a degree in philosophy, which begs the questions: why a degree, why philosophy, why not music.
