"What you have given Grant is more than just piano lessons; there were also life lessons as well.  I believe that music has truly enriched his life and made it better in immeasurable ways.  Through all 10 years, piano has been a constant in his emotional well-being and intellectual growth.  I will always consider you an enormous part of our lives!  God bless,”  ∼ Larry Foreman, March 2011
