Piano Lab at Fraser High School
I signed up for the first Adult Beginner class that the school offered. My only "musical" experience was elementary school band - so, basically, none! I absolutely loved the class! It was so much fun to take an hour out of my week to do something just for me. Karen Hagerty is a great teacher - it takes a special person to be able to teach a bunch of adults to play
Ode to Joy by the end of the first class! I recommend this class to anyone - I definitely will be back for the next class in January! Thanks to the school district for offering these classes and thanks to Mrs. Hagerty for finding time in her busy schedule to teach them! ~ Lynne Kennedy
The Piano Lab has exceeded our expectations and is a wonderful experience for children of all ages. I have never seen our daughter so passionate about any other activities she has been involved in and there has been plenty! The excitement continues with every passing class, the amount of knowledge she has acquired about the piano is amazing! Mrs. Hagerty is a fabulous teacher, I'm honored to say our daughter is learning from the best! This is another example of how Fraser Public Schools excel beyond the rest! We are so thankful for the opportunity and are looking forward to the next class to begin!

Our 7-year-old son has been an enthusiastic participant in piano classes since they launched last fall. He enjoys the environment, and we can really see the growth in his skills. As parents, we also love that he is being exposed to the high school environment in a very comfortable way--it's already preparing him to be a student there, which is still years down the road! We know that Mrs. Hagerty must be keeping the class lively and interesting, because Sean looks forward to it every week, and has no problem committing to practice time at home. Even during the weeks that class has not been meeting, he still often sits down to review his favorite songs and peek ahead at some new ones!
