Joyce is an excellent teacher and quite skilled. She has great patience and ability to teach the very young and the very old. As a senior, I've come a long way in my pianolesson's due to Joyce's style of teaching which she seems to indivualize. I'm so thankful to be taught by such a professional. I always look forward to my next lesson.
