Cindy's Piano Studio Welcomes "C"

 

Cindy's Piano Studio welcomes "C" to piano lessons in Clinton, MO.
"C" is in second grade and likes to play football and soccer but he also wants to learn to play the piano. Why? His answer to me was surprising. I don't think that in all my years of teaching (40) that I've ever heard this as a reason for wanting to learn piano. He wants to get good enough at playing so that he can teach others to play! Wow! A teacher in the studio! I love it. I hope that he will realize this desire as he grows in his piano playing.

Stay tuned for videos and art work and more from this young teacher in the making.
