She said, “To learn the piano, you should learn not only the of playing, but more importantly, to the music and love it.”
After some time, my daughter became fond of her lessons. Sometimes she would like to a little bit when her skill had reached a certain level.
Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Mom, I was that you didn’t give up my piano lessons. Learning it is like climbing a mountain. You’ll feel when you are on the way. When you look from where you are, you will realize that you have been making . But if you , you’ll never take one more step.” That was the very thing I wanted to teach her.
