After getting out to North Carolina, we had a struggle finding Kelly a piano teacher. We found one who is very nice and seems to be very good, but when we spoke with Kelly’s old teacher, we found this teacher was one who would be absolutely great with students who had just started up to about syllabus level 6. Neither Lorena nor I are competent to find a piano teacher of the right level of ability and attitude for Kelly. Jill let us know that we should not under appreciate Kelly’s talent, she has a good work ethic, and we should find her the very best teacher possible. Then she offered to find one for us, so she has been talking to a bunch of teachers in the area. The one she thought was best is going to hear Kelly play this afternoon, Jill is going to talk to one other on the telephone, then we are going to make our decision. It is a very exciting time as Kelly gets to move on to another level of piano skill. It would have been neat for her to be able to do that with Jill, but this will be good, too, and we certainly plan to stay in touch with Jill as Kelly proceeds.
