Vahl Piano Studio // Passion, Excellence, Artistry
Maple Grove Piano Lessons for Children, Teens, and Adults
from the mom of a piano student
. . . The piano is silent. I am going to miss those days of piano lessons and piano practice and all that was involved. ALL of it. The frustrations, the joys, the sense of being "no good" and then the delight when it came together. I know that all that came out of the years of piano lessons was not just learning to play the piano. There is so much more and we have talked about this . . . I do not miss the piles of flip-flops in our small entry way. Or the dishes sitting here and there. But I miss the piano!
