October 1st, 2010 admin All three of my children have been involved with Miss Peggy’s Music Room since they participated in the infant music appreciation classes. My oldest daughter now plays the flute in the elementary school band and she and my middle daughter continue their piano lessons with Miss Peggy. My youngest daughter can’t wait to start lessons! The family got so involved that my husband even took piano lessons there. It is a great, personal program with an emphasis on individual achievement and boosting self-esteem through music. We love it!
