She was a bit unsure at first as she wasn't great with reading music but now, 12 months on, is doing so well and recently performed alongside her friend at a Cou-Cou showcase, playing the piano. Phoebe is super patient and a great teacher. Thank you Phoebe, we can't wait for the next performance!” 🎹
