Nimble Fingers


Lauren has been taking piano lessons for a little over a year now, and had a recital today. Lauren stood up, introduced herself, and the piece she would be playing and then successfully played her piece. She had a lot of confidence.
When she first began taking lessons the teacher gave her a battery of tests including a pitch test and Lauren is one of the few students the teacher has ever had that has perfect pitch. Clearly she did not get her musical talent from me. And since she did not get her musical talent from me the job of making Lauren practice the piano falls upon Rick. At least he can understand the lesson, it looks like dots and sticks on a page to me.
