Chloe Shim
Advisor
My name is Chloe Shim and I am a Senior attending Sunny Hills High School. I am an Advisor of our club, who is in charge of mentoring members in all aspects that include leadership, outreach, and making Music Angels Hands a more closely knit family. I’ve been playing the piano since I was 7 years old, and am a Certificate of a Merit Level 10 (Advanced) State Honor recipient, 2nd place winner in the SATORI Summer Music Festival (2021, 2022), MTAC Theme Festival 2022 Silver medalist (2022), and Southern Youth Music Festival (Advanced Category) 3rd Place winner (2022). Throughout my years playing the piano, I have found that I love place pieces from Chopin because it requires bringing out a wide range of emotions. I have been a member of Music Angels Hands, a non-profit organization, since 2021, and was a Vice President and a Co-president the consecutive year. As a competitive pianist, I have had a phase where the rigor of playing the piano caused myself to lose passion, and build stress from viewing piano as an unconquerable challenge. However, through Music Angels Hands, I have come to realize how powerful music is, and how it can create happiness to many people in my community. By guiding children to interact and learn music through my experiences with playing the piano with “Journey of Self-Discovery with Classical Music” program, I hope to broaden their repertoire and make music feel like their close friend. I am honored to be able to create this new program in Music Angels Hands and am thankful to my parents who have taught me how to learn, feel loved, and be grateful.
