It’s never too late to learn. That’s the mantra Ruth Johnson has taken to heart.
At 70, she took a leap of faith and changed a lifelong yearning to play the piano into a reality. Now 85, she gives recitals at Desert Spring United Methodist Church, 120 N. Pavilion Center Drive. Her latest was March 10.
She credits her success to the late Bernard Baskin, from whom she took lessons for four years.
“He helped me with my fingering,” she said. “He said, ‘You should touch the key so it brings out the story of the piece.’ “
