At the age of 4 with encouragement from her mother and grandmother, Sharon learned to love the old hymns. She started taking lessons at 9 and continued until she was 17 years old. At 17, she started playing at church and has continued ever since. Sharon particularly loves the old hymms because they are more meaningful and inspirational.
