She works out of her home teaching piano lessons. The name of her studio is the Irma Andersson Piano Studio in honour of her mother, who was also a piano teacher.

Karen studied music at University for six years. In around 1980, she visited Hulda Gleason in Portland, Maine while attending the Kodaly Centre of America, NewBedford, Massachusetts.

**We welcome all Gidlofs to our place!!**

Presently, we are considering changing the name of our establishment to match the names of the two boats that Brita Kristina used to come to America (Calypso and Cymric).
But for this year, the two buildings can be seen on Mill Street suites and the Alley Cat Cottage
