Ren & Christine Overway
Ren loves pizza, breadsticks, history, and hide and seek; Christine loves pancit, classical languages, Regina Spektor, but they both love piano. Ren began piano lessons just weeks before the pandemic shut down in 2020. After only a handful of lessons in person, he switched to online lessons like most of the country. Online lessons were difficult for Ren because of his age and limited experience in piano. Christine knew that he really would enjoy piano, so she decided to model piano for him and took over his piano lessons. For several months, she met Ren’s teacher online for her own piano lessons. Ron observed her lessons and practicing throughout the week and eventually asked to return to lessons! Her magnificent plan worked! Pretty soon both mother and son were studying piano and performing at studio recitals.

My first memories in life are singing and dancing, so I guess you can say I’ve been inspired by music my entire life. From the time I was four years old, I wanted to create my own music.
