I enjoyed the Piano Adventures School of Music site very much! It was wonderful to see that the students as well as the teachers have such a passion for music. The video was also encouraging, with so many of the students from such diverse backgrounds. I know that this school would be a great choice for all music lovers who are interested in expanding their knowledge.

I've been a student of Mrs. Monica Sappleton for 8 years now. Her dedication and love of teaching music has taught me the act of learning new things on the piano, new chords, new melodies, new scales and other things is similar to the feeling of being alive. One thing I remember most about Mrs. Sappleton was when she played the piano music her fingers seemed to sing and she gave me the feeling through her playing. Mrs. Sappleton can help you grow as a pianist by giving you inspiration and the knowledge for a successful path in life. Music is a universal langauge and I was taught not just to speak it,but to play it too.
