“Open your ears and arms to a new stylist. Donna has a way with a song – her own way. Besides her soul-jazz vocals, she deliver scintillating piano accompaniments, arrangements and solo stylings… I DIG IT…”

Thank you for teaching me how to play piano this year. I love it and will probably play next year.

I’m sad it has to come to an end for the year. Sorry but can’t wait for summer!
