My Life

I have a new student named Sean who is about 8 years old. He originally started with guitar, but didn't like to practice because it hurt his fingers. He is also a very active kid and the guitar teacher couldn't be calmer and more easy-going, so probably their temperaments didn't match either. I've been working with him for about a month, and he has just been soaring in piano. His mom told me yesterday that he practices all the time and earlier this week she asked him how he was liking piano.

He stopped what he was doing and grew serious. "Mom," he said. "It's my life."
