“I take pride in our piano faculty for their engaging attitude and relentless passion not only in the teaching of a lesson but even outside the class, being willing to guide us, share with us their life-long experience as an illuminating source and significant part of maturing one’s musicianship....Michigan is where artistry takes flight!”
