Share your piano story

My first piano teacher Emma Watson was a lovely lady who always offered her students these jelly candies on the way out the door.  Hmmm they weren't my favourite but my Dad always loved them from my hidden pocket.  Rick Pritchard of Peterborough truly inspired me to find new colours in music. But it was my husband and Artistic Director of Westben, Brian Finley who swept me off my feet with Chopin's Andante spianato Op. 22 some 30 years ago at the Music Gallery in Toronto.  What's your piano story?
