Susan, I love taking lessons with you. You make it fun, as well as challenging, and I wouldn’t continue with a teacher who didn’t make me feel great about what I was doing.

Three years later, I continue to look forward to our time together. I feel fortunate to have found such a patient and positive teacher.
