Edina piano teacher inducted into Steinway & Sons Teacher Hall of Fame

You can officially call her "The Piano Woman."

Pat Langer has been teaching piano in the Twin Cities for more than 50 years.

Now, she’s been inducted into the Steinway & Sons Teacher Hall of Fame, which recognizes the most passionate piano teachers in the United States.

"I couldn’t believe it," Langer said. "It’s not something I ever imagined. I just do what I do because I really love what I’m doing. Piano teaches you more than the art of playing. It teaches you endurance. It teaches you to have a goal and to learn how to achieve it, going over all kinds of challenges that you have along the way because it’s not a simple instrument."

Due to arthritis, Langer lost her ability to play the piano but she has no plans to retire.
