Dordena H. Rogel, Piano Teacher - I honor Dordena Rogel as my mother and my first music teacher and piano teacher. She taught me to sing in tune at the age of five, when she noticed I was struggling vocally. She also began my piano instruction at that time and exhibited her wonderful patience and high musicianship as she nurtured me along the way. I have many memories of her correcting me from the kitchen as I practiced. I always wanted to have every young child begin piano study with her. She was magical. She kept teaching piano until the age of 82, at which time she had a state winner. Amazing. Thanks, Mom. |
