I'm actually an adult violin student in my 50's but I self-taught myself piano when I was a teen and before that started on one of the first "electric organ"...
I do Hannon, and promote it, have purchased it as gifts for friends, and think it added to my confidence in transposition, appregios, freeing my left from my...
