I never could have imagined the idea of having virtual piano lessons with a 5 year old and 8 year old working, but they do. Our teacher, Clay Corso, does a wonderful job guiding my children through their lessons on Zoom. The classes are great, my children are progressing, and it's been one of the few things that have felt "normal" while we've been homebound since March due to the pandemic. I really appreciate how Brooke and team have shifted their model to accommodate these crazy times and the children's needs. I'm truly grateful.-Kate B. Parent
