Weihang (Alex) Xu

 
 

 I was born in Beijing, China. Not as many of pianists, I was not born in a music family and I started learning piano when I was 19.

       When I was 18, I quit studying in high school because I felt the life I was living was not what I want, so I made the most important decision in my life. I just kept staying in my home without going any school for two years. During these two years, I kept asking myself a question "what is the life I really want?" and studying buddhism, philosophy and psychology at the same time. 

       After a year of exploring myself, I realized music is what I'm passionate about, and after a year of studying piano, I'm certain this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. My passion is the best helper of mine. It has helped me overcome countless difficulties in these years. 

       Besides piano, playing soccer has always been one of my favorite things to do. If I have time, I also like to read and write.

       Now I'm having a great great opportunity exploring the world of music with Dr. Dossin. I'm sure it's going to be one of the best experiences in my life!
