PIANO DEPARTMENT IN 1981. Was advanced piano always in this room on the second floor? In the 1970s the room was an auditorium and the piano department was primarily in the Tileston building. The piano program grew from 12 to 24 students in the ‘70s and Bill Garlick was constantly looking for places to put pianos. Over time, the piano department acquired two workshops on the second floor but it was not until the 1980s, when the after-school program was moved to the community center that advanced piano moved to the current location. The bigger space made it possible to fully rebuild and restore grand and upright pianos.

What is your favorite memory ? Getting to know a new group of students every year is the highlight of working here. Because of my role, I get to know them all. I’ve seen hundreds of students come through the school and it is wonderful to see them graduate. As for specific memories, I remember a Thanksgiving party that the parents of the preschool students hosted for NBSS staff in the late 1980s. I also have a very fond memory of dancing the jitterbug with Walter McDonald at a holiday party. lance patterson LANCE WAS A STUDENT IN THE
