Question

when i inherited my great - aunts piano, i was thrilled and inspired. i remembered sitting in her living room, listening to her play wonderful melodies and watching her fingers fly across the keys. i was determined that i would finally learn to play the piano, too.
i tried teaching myself, using online instructional videos and different how - to books. i learned the basics, plunking out scales and some simple tunes. but i didnt feel like i was really making music. i felt discouraged. maybe i just didnt have my great - aunts musical touch.
eventually, i called melinda canon, a piano teacher recommended to me by a friend. from my very first lesson with melinda, i felt the joy of making music. we played simple yet magical duets together. she gave me useful pointers to refine my technique and suggested easy but inspiring classics for me to learn. with melindas expert guidance, im finally learning to make my great - aunts piano sing again.
which sentence best summarizes the authors point of view about piano instruction from melinda canon?
melinda canons online instructional videos and how - to books are an improvement over learning piano by yourself.
melinda canon is an excellent piano teacher who can help even beginning students find the joy in making music.

Explanation:

The author tried self - teaching (using online videos and books) but felt discouraged. When learning from Melinda Canon, from the first lesson, the author felt the joy of making music. Melinda gave useful pointers and suggestions. This shows Melinda is an excellent teacher who helps students (even beginners) find joy in music. The first option is wrong as Melinda is a real - life teacher, not someone with online instructional videos.

Answer:

Melinda Canon is an excellent piano teacher who can help even beginning students find the joy in making music.
