Seventeenyears ofTuesday afternoons.
Piano is not learned in a week. Every student here has an hour: the same teacher, the same afternoon, week after week. Those hours add up. Seventeen years of them, in Irvine, since 2009. And when a passage will not come together, in the fingers or in the phrasing, that is where the hour is earned.
