Nathan & Owen still take Suzuki piano lessons from Mary Todd. They really are learning so much. The respect and order with which Mary presents lessons is pretty incredible. It empowers the kids and drives them to succeed. She is patient, kind and asks a lot of questions during their lessons. Since Mary no longer teaches at Oak Farm, we go to her house for lessons on Sunday afternoons. Its often a 2 and a half to 3 hour adventure each Sunday. She spends a lot of time with them, more than 30 minutes, and we spend time in her living room with her dog Monty. Sometimes the kids will bring a basketball to play in her driveway, or a book, or something to do. Its a relaxing few hours with Mary where the kids are truly learning another language.
