My Music Teacher's House

Category: Landmarks

Mrs Wilkinson was my second music teacher and this is her house on 29th Street SW. I was her student for two years. She had a special music studio built in her basement and you accessed it through a front entrance that had an interesting "music" railing in front of it. The huge wrought iron treble cleff railing looked so cool and announced to the neighborhood that this was a musical home. Mrs Wilkinson's hands were very "veiny" and I remember asking my mother if this would happen to me if I kept playingt the piano. She assured me that veiny hands had more to do with age than piano playing!
