Review, Graduation

Piano is my main instrument and have been playing for 38 years and teaching for 25. I have a K-12 teaching B.A. from University of St. Francis and M.B.A. student of Lewis University. I have taught music in school class rooms as well as privately tutored. I find music helps students to focus and listen this helps improve their learning and comprehension skills. Being able to play a musical instrument is an academic discipline that a student can carry with them all their lives.
