3 Keys to the Future

We have great opportunities to move our city forward in the future, but it’s going to take a collective effort from everyone to see major progress.

At the time, I absolutely loathed the piano and really wanted nothing to do with any of it. There were a few problems that hindered my musical education; all brought about by me.
