At the age of 3 she was enthusiastically expressing her love for the piano, emphatically stating that she wanted to be a “pianina”! This very love for the piano prompted her to start piano lessons at the age of 4 with her father, Giorgos Tsiantzis, who guides her every step of the way. In addition, Angelina participates in Piano Masterclasses with famous pianists such as Cyprien Katsaris, Christina Ortiz, Domna Evnouchidou, Vassilis Varvaresos, Grigoris Zambaras and Yiannis Potamousis.
