So sorry to read of Nancy’s passing. She tried very hard to teach me piano for years. I guess I just was teachable. She was a vey sweet woman. My sympathies to the family.

Nancy was my piano teacher for 7 years in the music room at CCS. I lost track of her when we moved to WNY in 1979. I enjoyed my lessons with this kind, patient teacher who convinced me to enter the piano competition at NYSSMA Festivals. My condolences to her family.
