Sally was an amazing pianist and she was the first accompanist that I worked with when I started at Miami-Dade College Kendall Campus. May she rest in peace!

Instilling the love of music to her students.

Our deepest condolensces to Ms. Sally's family. She was a wonderful teacher and a very special woman. She introduced my son to the world of piano in which we will be eternally grateful. May she rest in peace surrounded by the music she loved.

Sally Pyle was a gifted piano instructor. Both of my daughters were students of hers and still have an appreciation for piano to this day. We will miss you Sally.

Dear Sally will be missed very much. I met Sally many years ago when she was the accompanist for the Miami Dade College Community Choir. She was a great pianist with a perky, upbeat, positive personality and wonderful sense of humor. She seemed to enjoy everything in life. It was a pleasure to know Sally and I will always remember what a kind, patient teacher she was and also the fun we had in her Adult Piano Classes. Sally will be missed by all who knew her and those who had the honor of being one of her students.

My wife and I were two of Sally's adult-piano students. Our purpose was to deepen our understanding and appreciation of music. Sally was a remarkably talented pianist and teacher; we knew we were very fortunate to be her students. Moreover, she was kind and generous. We loved her. Over the years, Sally probably taught hundreds, if not thousands, of students enriching their lives. In turn, many of them taught and mentored others. In music alone, the scope and quality of her influence is awesome to contemplate.

While I am deeply saddened by Sally's passing, as one of her "adult" piano students I have to celebrate her wonderful, patient, and caring piano teaching.

So sad to learn of the passing of Sally. She was indeed an incredible pianist. She could play anything! I had the privilege of knowing her as the pianist of the now defunct Miami-Dade College Community Chorus in which I sang for 21 years. I know your family will sorely miss her. Bless you, Sally, for giving so much pleasure.
