Four half hour piano lessons for beginning pianists, specifically children at least 5 years old.  These lessons are taught by West Portal parent Ms. McNab.  The lessons would take place at Ms. McNab's home at a time of mutual convenience.  Ms. McNab has a piano at her house that we could use during lessons. It would be preferable for families interested in piano to have a keyboard to practice the skills they learn.
