Everything about music is fun whether it’s playing the piano, learning the logic of theory or finding your voice. It’s never too late to start. I’ve loved music and started piano when I was 4! From private lessons to directing children’s and senior community choirs that sing in nursing homes, my life is all about the joy of music.
