Hello! I am Sasha Babenko. I am 9 years old. I live in Volgograd and study at school No. 61 in the 4th form. Moreover I study at musical school No. 15 in the third form. I have been studying there since I was 7. I play the guitar. And I really enjoy doing it! When I play the guitar you can hear not only the sounds of music, you can hear the sounds of my soul. I do not think it is a hobby. I hope music is my future career. 

When I was in a year 1 at my musical school I often performed in different concerts and festivals solo and in an ensemble with the other young guitarist Ira Presnyakova who was in the third grade of musical school that time. 

In 2013 I started taking part in various musical contests as a guitarist. They were zonal, city, regional, All-Russia and international contests and festivals. Firstly I participated in the First All-Russia Contest-Festival called "First Steps" . I became a laureate of the second degree there. I was very happy! 

Now I am a laureate of the first and second degrees of lots of musical contests and festivals. I even have never had the third prize among guitarists! And now I also play in ensemble with Masha Lukoshkova who plays flute. We have played together for only a month and in March we took part in the Regional Musical contest and became laureates of the first degree among mixed ensembles.  My teacher of the guitar Nataliya Alexandrovna is very proud of me!

Also I do the vocal. I have been doing it for two years. And I won the first, second and third prizes in vocal competitions.

In September 2014 I entered the first class of the piano. I believe I make a great success in playing the piano.

I hope to become a professional musician in my future. And I am going to enter the conservatoire after graduation from musical school.
