Sarah M.

Vineeta R.

I started taking piano lessons when I was just 6 years old. Since then, music has become such a significant part of my everyday life that I can’t imagine not playing piano. I enjoy playing the piano because it gives me a sense of accomplishment, as I see how my diligent practice helps me to move quickly to more advanced pieces. Taking piano lessons also gives me some skills that I can show to other people. One of the things I like the most about piano lessons is playing duets.
