Before I started school, we would sometimes take walks to visit somebody Mom knew. The grownups would chat in the other room, and the 3 of us would play with their daughter in the living room. She was a bit older than me. They had a piano, that I was interested in and their daughter knew how to play. If I pressed one key at a time, all was fine, but as soon as I pressed 2, Mom would call, “Quit banging on the piano!”
“Let’s do an experiment,” said the girl as she sat beside me. She played one key at a time, quite loud. That seemed fine. Then she showed me 3 to press to make a cord, and I pressed them very softly. “QUIT BANGING ON THE PIANO!”
“Ok,” the girl said. Watch this. She opened her piano book and had me plink around a little. Then she started playing the piece from the book. “QUIT BANGING ON THE PIANO!” She continued to play the piece, beautifully, and Mom came storming out to put a stop to my banging on the piano to discover me sitting beside the girl as she played beautifully.
