“The piano itself is really the ultimate gift, for it has afforded me the opportunity to express what I hear; the music that comes to me and through me. It has been the instrument that allows me to share what I feel is important about melody, and harmony, and dynamics, and freedom with respect to music. The piano is simply the way I reach out to all people to help them enjoy life a little more.” -Lee Bartley
