I am proud to inform you that David received his primary piano education from former
Tyler MTA member, Mrs. Francis Huff, and current ETMTA member, Mrs. Helen Elbert. Since joining
our association in 2006, David Lee has been a faithful member and active participant. It is quite an
honor to have a former ETMTA student now serving as an ETMTA teacher and officer.

In addition to being a cornerstone of ETMTA since its inception, Mrs. Wilkins is also paving the way
