Interview to Yubeen Kim

How did you begin in music?

My father is a contrabassist in an orchestra in Korea, so I was really friendly and close to music. I could listen to music easily and went to the concerts that he was playing. And I also liked very much the music myself.
My parents suggested me to learn the piano and the violin when I was around 6 years old. I liked so much playing piano that I learned it for a long time.
When I was around 9 years old, I followed my mother to the flute lessons, that she went as a hobby. Those moments made me become a flutist. I loved the flute since then.

First my parents, I can't do anything without my parents.
