  • Exactly what I need!

    This is exactly what I need! I took lessons from age 8 to age 18 from an extraordinarily talented elderly woman. I will never be as fluent on the piano as she, but at age 35 I have decided that I can in fact teach what I do know. I cannot go to my teacher for guidance because she has passed away, but Angela has given me so much needed confidence and tips and I begin this journey. Thank you, Angela!
