PIANO LESSONS!
Lea Stech currently has openings for all ages. Playing the piano is not only very enjoyable, it has been shown to boost cognitive functions, since it stimulates almost every area of the brain simultaneously. Be able to play some Christmas tunes on the piano by the holidays! For information, contact Lea:
