Miss Sally started teaching me when I was three years old...and over the years, as my tastes changed, her teaching style did to. She switched me from the Bach/Beethoven Suzuki classics to a "pick your own" style of teaching including Joplin, Jelly Roll, and "The Gersh." Recitals and the occasional variety show were never dull (as many parents fear), and playing a "Mississippi Hotdog" duet with her remains one of the highlights of my musical career. Ever open to my pianistic "experimentations" she remains my favorite piano instructor. Ever. I am now 27 years old and love piano as much as I ever did (or more).
