Talitha has been playing piano since she was four years old. Being homeschooled, she was taught by her mom until she started private lessons at the age of 14. That is when she realized how much she enjoyed piano and wanted to teach it. Most recently she spent a couple years learning from All Things Musik. Talitha loves the challenge and excitement of learning music and the feeling of accomplishment as she continues to learn more and more. She hopes to help her students to feel how truly rewarding music can be!
