Rosa Costa

“After 4 years of spending time with mom at a Long Term Care Facility with 3 idle pianos (1 on each floor), I knew I wanted to learn to play them. Mom has passed on but maybe, just maybe ll make my retirement happier with music or make others happy. It's been almost a year since I started taking piano lessons and I love it. Instead of do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do it's c-d-e-f-g-a-b-c I especially love the way Lori teaches me. Being older you don't always remember things and she will explain over and over and patiently listens. She will show me how to play a melody (in her hands its always beautiful) and then I try my best to replicate. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, but it certainly makes it a lot easier to learn. And, as my typing teacher used to say “practice makes better”, so I practice until I'm happy with the result. Maybe I'll take singing lessons next!”

-Rosa Costa (on the brink of 60)
