I'm amazed at how fast my teenage son has been learning piano in just one year, he really likes his lessons. This has been such a good fit for him and our busy schedule! |
[Foragers] is such a great, relaxing break for my daughter every week. She never fights coming, and she loves playing piano and learning all about music in class! |
