Part 1, 2 and 3 of the Conservatory cover my progress in the keyboard curriculum designed by the one of the greatest keyboard players of our time Mr. Jordan Rudess.
Since January 2016, I'm a registered member of the Jordan Rudess Online Conservatory.  My goal is to document my progress by recording my performances and keep submitting to the Online Conservatory on regular basis.
