## Caption

I wasn’t allowed to compose.

Stick to the music. Follow the rules.

So eventually… I quit piano.

Years later, I came back — not to be perfect,�but to be honest and to have fun. 

Now, looking back — I’m so grateful that all the experiences helped me grow into the pianist (and person) I am today.

Did anyone else have a teacher like this? 😅

This clip was from my storytelling piano show in Dallas, TX!
