Piano

I am having one of those days like my friend was was having over at KaytlinGrace.com the other say, with the ice skating.

Poor little Z is crying because she can't find the right chords to play along with a song. She is trying to find the chords on her own to go with the melody. Then she couldn't find the chord she was searching around for and didn't like any of the ones she was hearing and she started to cry.

Then Pere comes home and since he is a musician I am happy to hand over the lesson to him and he shows Z what he does when he is trying to find chords. He ends up making Z cry more because he said he was going to play a B chord but actually played an A and then he wasn't listening to her and didn't understand what she was trying to tell him.

But things are all better now. They are playing chords and Z is playing Pere her favorite ones, her most "beautiful ones." She likes an F sharp major add nine and Pere likes a major seveth. Z said it was blah! until she showed her it was from the beginning to Into the Woods. Now they are just playing around and Z is happy again and not crying.

Piano is one of the few things these days that can make Z cry - I think because she pushes herself pass her comfort zone. And I think that is great, even though I hate to see her crying.
