My Piano Teacher (by William)

Ms. Cindy is my piano teacher and I am going to introduce you to her and her studio.  I have been learning piano for two years and I feel inspired by Ms. Cindy.  Her studio is called Piano for Children located in Arcadia.

Ms. Cindy passes her love of music down to me.  She taught me how to play great piano pieces that touched my heart.  One of them was Star Wars Main Theme.  When I play it I feel like I am in outer space with Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa fighting the First Order.

Since I started learning piano, Ms. Cindy has always taught me in a very kind, positive and gentle way.  Her attitude in teaching really woke up my sense of music.  Every time after my piano class, I would practice playing piano and that gladden the ears near and far in my family. 

Ms. Cindy organizes recitals and community concerts for senior citizens.  After a recital there are lots of snacks.  There is also a chance for kids to play together.  That is how I made friends with other kids in the studio (moms too)!  I teamed up with other kids to do duets and trios.  Ms. Cindy once said “I can count on you to do duets and trios” and that made me proud.  

Ms. Cindy’s studio feels like home.  Her studio is very neat and organized and she has her own library full of music books, CDs, and videos that you can borrow for free.

Ms. Cindy is my angel of music and her love of music will always be part of me.

********Letter from Ms. Cindy (I read many times)********

Dear William,

What a wonderful blog post you wrote about me and my studio!  I appreciate all the nice things you mentioned about my teaching and our facility.  I find myself very lucky, I get to do the thing I enjoy the most (playing the piano) and be with the most fun, curious and genuine group of people (children).  You write very well!  I hope you don't mind if I share your writing.  

When I said I can always count on you to play duets or trios, I really meant it!  Besides playing all the notes correctly, you also paid extra attention to details such as dynamics and articulations.  You have solid memorization on your own part and know how to adjust and balance with your partner(s).  You perform with confidence and cheerful manner, I've enjoyed watching you on stage and listening to you perform.  

Continue to practice, build up your repertoire, explore, sing and write.  I look forward to our third year working and growing together!

Ms. Cindy
