At the age of two, Rebecca's great-grandmother gave her a miniature piano, and when she turned three years old, she began piano studies under the Yamaha piano program. It was there she learned how to play by ear. Rebecca played her first piano solo at the age of three and sang her first solo when she was five years old, with over 300 people in the audience.
