Blind sisters gifted piano to practice on
Hi neighbours. This story showcases the great community spirit of Orewa. Blind sisters, Daelani and Tayla Marsters (age 10 and seven) have been taking piano lessons since the beginning of the year. Their piano teacher recently posted to Neighbourly to see if anyone had a piano they were willing to part with so the girls could practice at home, and sure enough, she received four offers. Listen to the girls play in our video by visual journalist Ryan Anderson.
