“I began piano lessons at age four in Columbia,” says O'Donnell. “I was very fortunate to have had teachers who inspired me to excel in piano. I was able to participate in many competitions in my childhood and throughout my college years.”

Her goal and ambition has always been to inspire other people to want to learn to play the piano. While there are many fine piano teachers in this area, there is not an emphasis on helping a child to achieve competitive status. “I would like to provide those opportunities here,” expresses O'Donnell. “Currently the closest city for these expenses is Columbia. However, I am also interested in helping someone to learn to play only for enjoyment, whether it be hymns, classical, pop, etc.”
