I took Piano class with Blackwood in Downtown Gainesville for my daughter. I can see great improvement in her rhytm skills now and it seems like a surprise to me. Blackwood is so creative and mix exercise wit games to help her timing and now she’s confident and her level is intermediate now. Thanks to her.
