Piano Group Class
With blurry eyes I saw the door open and a dark figure was standing in the doorway. As my eyes adjusted to the dark. I saw my mom standing, beckoning for me to get up. She asked if I was awake and I answered saying
“I'm awake.”
I glanced at my watch. 5:00 am. I got out of my bed. Still half asleep I walked out and got dressed.
I walked into the piano room and got out the books I was going to use. I turned on the metronome to 120 and practised Hanon to warm my fingers up.
It was 5:15 am. so my mom pushed the ‘call’ button to call my teacher on face-time.(my mom is also my teacher. I Learn a lot from my mom as well.) It didn't work. So my mom tried again. It didn't work again. Finally after several more tries it worked. Yay!
I saw the rest of the girls my age waiting to play. My teacher asked me if I wanted to be first, or if I wanted to wake up a bit more before I played.(since everyone else was in America it was about 12:15, noon, for them.) I answered saying I wanted to play now.
I played. I was nervous but I played even better than I practised. I made only 3 mistakes! That was a score of -3!
By the end of group class no one else had a higher score than -3! That meant I was the winner! I was very happy.
At the end of group class, everyone got a chocolate bar.(except me because I am in New Zealand and everyone else was in America) My teacher said she would save my TWO chocolate bars.(I got two because I won)
It was a fun group class and I'm glad I went.
