Dear Friends & Colleagues of SPTF,
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Johanna Kosak, our current president, Diane Gale, Ellen Spergel, Tami Levy, Fran Hanlon, & Karen Cellala our past presidents since the mid 1990's for their time and dedication to this outstanding organization. It's been aproximately 20 years of learning and growing with all of you. I enjoyed our journey together. I reach out to all of you with my sincere gratitude for unselfishly sharing your time, education, and talents with me throughout these years. You have all helped me in one way or another to grow in developing a full-time piano studio and giving my students opportunities to participate in recitals and competitions. I've enjoyed working with you at the recitals I participated in. As you are all aware piano is my secondary instrument. I was somewhat apprehensive at first to teach piano but after consulting with my piano teachers from Pa. and the help of this group, I now have full confidence in my teaching skills as an experienced teacher and will take all that I've learned from this organization with me. I'd just like to leave you with something I feel very passionate about. Always remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and has value in this organization. Pull from each other's strengths. listen to one another, and above all respect each other whether you are young or old. We can all learn and benefit from each other.
Thank you again for your respect and friendship,
Fondly,
Linda Loeper
