I started thinking about piano late in life, but if you tell that to Tracey, she’ll say you have an advantage. I would constantly give myself the excuse of being too old - actually I am only forty-seven. My eldest daughter is one of Tracey’s students and through the years, I have watched how music has shaped her. But playing was something that I never thought I would be able to do. One of the main reasons holding me back for so many years was the deformity I was born with on my right hand, it was a challenge for me, but not for Tracey, she figured it all out. I can’t say enough about Tracey in how she has natural energy, which her students depend on. The community is extraordinarily lucky for Tracey has highly influenced her students and parents alike. I took the plunge at a later age and Tracey has prepared me to fully explore my dreams. Tracey has built a foundation for the community, which without her hard work and long hours would have never existed. She gives equal attention to her students. She is open to her students’ sensibilities and trusts in them their capabilities.
