By the age of ten, he had already won several local piano competitions, and his parents knew that he had a bright future in music. At the age of twelve, Paul began to take an interest in the violin. He was fascinated by the instrument's sound and the way it could convey emotion and feeling. He started taking lessons and quickly became proficient, impressing his teachers with his natural talent and dedication to the instrument.
