Rose - My Inspiration
I started piano lessons at a young age because of my mother Rose. She encouraged me to take piano lessons and set me on my path to becoming a music instructor. Although she has passed, I have posted a photo of a rose because it represents her influence on my musical life, for which I'm very grateful.
