Lessons in Elgin

Elocution

When I was in grade school, I had private teacher who I would see more or less weekly for Elocution lessons.  I would memorize the pieces she gave me and then I would go to a group and recite the piece.  These were poems and funny stories and such.  

Piano Teacher

The piano teacher (also a member of our church) would come to the house weekly.  I started piano lessons at a young age.  

High School

In high school I added voice and violin lessons, and this set the stage for a life in music.
