The sight reading skills that Mrs. Breth instilled in me ensured that even though my practice schedule changed from three hours a day in high school to three hours a week at my college’s church, I was still able to enjoy and partake in one of my life’s greatest passions—music.
Mrs. Breth is one of those rarest and most gifted of teachers who inspire[s her] students to work hard and think independently. Studying piano with her was not a matter of merely “receiving instruction,” but rather a natural process of “bringing forth” the music we unconsciously sensed we could create.
