About me	I have been playing the piano since the age of 3. My parents saw my love of the instrument and made sure I had lessons wherever we were living. With my foundation in piano, I began teaching traditional piano while still in college. I had a large piano studio for about three years, teaching traditionally and burnt out–there was no joy. I took a 20 year break from teaching piano until I discovered Simply Music Piano. The joy has returned, and I am learning a new way to approach playing the piano and teaching it.
