Hello all - Sister St. Augustine, my second piano teacher, passed away this week, somewhere around the age of 103! She was in her 70s when she taught me (I was in 5th grade at Nativity Grade school). My first teacher (Sister Ruth Marie) taught me chord inversions - I never did get to thank her for that, as she passed away several years ago. She was strict with me, but taught me chords and also scales in all keys (those black notes scared me!). After two years, she was replaced by the sweet and gentle Sr. Saint Augustine, a woman who towered near 6 feet tall. I last saw her a few years ago at Bethany Convent, where I was able to play piano for her. : ) I'm heading to her wake in a few minutes, and wanted to post a tribute to a woman who helped mold my musical journey. I'm sure she's resting in peace. :)
