"Lish, we are so delighted that we found you. Our daughter (10) has really enjoyed her lessons with you and her playing has already improved enormously after only three lessons! We think that you are a very gifted, "natural" teacher, and your ebullient personality and indefatigably positive attitude are huge pluses, as well. Keep up the great work." -Thom and Liz M.
