sight isn’t always necessary

We’ve had a piano for a while, and we’re taking Connor to lessons to learn how to play it, too. It’s a good skill to have, as far as I’m concerned, and he’s getting better and better at it – it’s fun to watch him! He even makes his own songs all the time. They have quiet sections, loud sections, he doesn’t just bang on the notes… I don’t know how far he’ll take it but we’re willing to let him try for now, especially since he doesn’t protest (so we’re not forcing him to). The other day we went online and looked at videos of people playing piano on YouTube, and we saw some pretty amazing stuff – 4 year old children playing complex Mozart pieces, 7 year old children playing their own compositions… Then we stumbled on this piece, and I’m now addicted. I’ve never had formal lessons, and I don’t know all of the keys in E minor, but I’m going to figure them out somehow. I’m going to learn this piece. And I’m going to play it.
