My ,other was a keyboardist who played both piano and pipe organ. Her  cousin, a violinist, was concert master at the University of Colorado before he became the director of the El Paso Symphony Orchestra. So Stephanie was born with a good dose of musical talent. She wanted to learn the piano while still in grammar school.  We b\\ought her a spinet and she took lessomsfro, a neighborhood piano teacher. Soon, the teacher told us that she gad taught Stephanie  all she could and suggested we get our daughter a more advanced yracher. We bought Stephanie a seven foot Steinway grand piano. We got her a new teacher, suggested by her former one. <a href=\"https:\/\/centerformusicalarts.org\/deborah-schmit-lobis\/\">Deborah Schmit-Lobis<\/a> was her new teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On graduating from high school,Stephanie was accepted by the University of Colorado as a music student majoring in piano.
