We now have enough to allow all of our current piano students access to full-sized keyboards. In the couple of weeks that we have had these, those students who were limited to the mini-keyboards have progressed exponetially faster than they had done the rest of the year. It may be because the keyboards feel and sound better or that the students feel supported in their quest to learn to play, but just today, one of those students learned and performed three separate pieces for me. Previously, it would have taken that student two weeks to accomplish the same feat.\r\n\r\nHaving the right tools is half the battle in motivating students to do their best. I am so thankful that you decided this was a worthwhile cause. I have already seen a positive change in my students. Thank you again for helping to make this happen.
