I started learning piano by learning classical pieces by myself. As you can imagine, it was very very difficult and I never managed to finish most of the pieces I practice lol.

I picked it up myself, got a few non-classical lessons but I went self-study from there.

If you can't get a teacher, then the second most important thing is watching videos that will help your technique and to prevent bad habits. Bad habits are the main problem with self-studying pianists as they don't have a teacher to point out the wrong technique.

Search "Choreography of the Hands: The Work of Dorothy Taubman" on YouTube. It'll help you a lot~

I do hope to return to the Philippines someday (maybe a concert if I'm famous enough lol). Being a 100% Filipino, the Philippines has a special place in my heart.

Eh... not really. I've always made my arrangements in an improvisational way so it's not too much focused on difficulty but rather the "singing tone" of the piece.
