              <text>Sara Wyche Higgins discusses her almost forty years as a piano teacher in Mint Hill and Charlotte, North Carolina. After moving to Mint Hill in the late 1940s, Mrs. Higgins soon began playing accompaniment at Bain School (now Bain Elementary School), and she describes the central role the school played in the close-knit community's cultural life. A former president of the Charlotte Piano Teachers' Forum, Mrs. Higgins discusses the role the organization has had in raising the level of music education in the city through its monthly programs, master classes, and recitals. She shares her own philosophy on teaching piano, including the need for regular practice and the importance of creating a positive learning experience for children. Mrs. Higgins also discusses working at the Southern Park Music School, explaining that the school's success shows that music lessons can occur in a businesslike setting without reducing the standards of instruction.</text>
