"We love Betty! We started lessons with her when we lived in Continental Ranch, although we have moved to Dove Mountain, we will not switch to someone closer because the boys are very happy taking lessons with her. Both of my twin boys are not always interested in the same thing, but they both like piano and are doing a great job and I credit Betty's teaching skills and demeanor with keeping them interested and improving as time goes by."
