Thanks for viewing my channel! I'm Josh Ebling and I'm a pianist. 

Around 2008, I started listening to music by Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, following his music from films by Studio Ghibli. The main theme from Spirited Away, One Summer's Day, inspired me to learn to play the piano. 
Near the end of 2009, I started lessons, but stopped near the middle of 2010 because the pacing and teaching style didn't fit.
I started learning One Summer's Day independently, using what little I learned about reading music. When I finished the piece near the end of 2010, it was rusty but I had it down to memory. At that point I knew I wanted to be a pianist and that I had to have lessons to become one, and my dad found me a new teacher, Katie Coleman, in March of 2011. 
From 2016 through 2018,  I studied as a music major at Lane Community College, where I learned a lot under my new teacher Sandy Holder.
I have been teaching piano since May, 2021. I have also been learning under Paul Safar since 2021.
