This sweet, warm, kind, musical, dedicated, creative Grandma-lady was my piano teacher through all my elementary years. She's been teaching since 1962, and has 16 studeents to this day!

You'll hear how she started paying her aunt Mabel 50 cents for each piano lesson, to all these years later and the students she calls "music friends" that have made her life full and sweet.

Talk about a mom job, she has done all of this while raising 6 of her own children.

She shares a few more than 3 prime tips for beginning piano teachers

Here are some things she taught me:

-sandwich the constructive between the compliment

-have a solo recital when students finish a book

-group classes were called "piano parties"

-be creative and always try something new

-the two piano book with Classical pieces we referenced is Favorite Classics accompaniment by Lancaster and Renfrow
