I've been playing the piano for about 10 years. I never really felt like I enjoyed it or that I would ever progress with it. Until I found Sarah! I've been with Sarah for about 2 years and I feel like a whole new pianist! I've moved up so much faster than I had all the years before. I'm playing songs I never imagined I would play. And I enjoy it so much more now that I can play what I want to. Not only do I enjoy playing now but it has become a passion. I used to be forced to practice and I hated it! But now I use the things I've learned, with Sarah and The Piano place, as outlets for life's stressors and depressors! Thank you so much to The Piano Place for changing my life!
