I took piano off and on for many years but my main instruction was through high school with Colleen Maloy who I took from for about 3 years. She lived down the street from my violin teacher and so I would go from one lesson to the other each week. One year I got motivated and learned 50 hymns and a showy recital piece and for this she gave me the coveted "Outstanding Progress" award in June of 1995. I am sorry to say that I have not kept up with my piano playing as much as I have violin. But my knowledge of the keyboard is extremely helpful in understanding music theory and helps me to this day in that regard.
