Teaching Piano is a great job!
I love teaching piano, and am proud of all of my students. My mother made
me take piano lessons so I could play piano for church. After a few years of lessons, I knew that playing and teaching would
be my life's work.

Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
