Mr. L’s Programming Schedule

What skill would you like to master?
As a piano major at Truman, my
ultimate goal in life is to master the
piano, and to teach others to love it as
much as I do.
What will inspire you to recommend a
book?
Sometimes after I finish a book,
it leaves me giddy and full with a new
vigor for life. For the rest of the day it’ll
be the only thing I think about, and
when that happens, I want to tell
absolutely everyone about it!
She recommends: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
