(sit) sat their piano, I think of the times when I used to practice. One time my teacher hugged me after I played an entire sheet of music (correct) in front of her colleagues. I was so (embarrass) but her efforts to comfort me helped in easing the shame. These occurrences, good or bad, never decrease my desire (play) the piano. I still want to make music.
