Debra Peters comments, “Becca can play in every key with ease and recent favorite was key of B. One day I put on an old vinyl record and within only hearing the intro she told me...oh that's the key of E.... I asked her how she knew this so quick? She said... 'it's because you taught me" and I said... no... Becca... you can do this because God gave this talent to you. She has been given the gift of knowing music”. |
