Possibly their oldest Student. Played for many years until Strokes hit and I couldn't remember how to. I practiced and signed up for lessons and Neurologists say it's the Best Therapy. Online lessons can't tell you when you're doing something wrong. It's not an easy road but I have improved 200% since starting the lessons. Don't have the words to recommend them enough.
