Our piano teacher is planning a virtual piano recital for her students, and today she asked Daniel what piece he wanted to play for it. He said he wanted to play "Ecossaise." That's the name of a fairly easy piece in Suzuki Book 2, and since Daniel is nearly done with that book, the teacher assumed he could easily perform that song. She told him to play it for her . . .
. . . then Daniel turned to the piano and busted out a different Ecossaise from Book 3, which we recently bought and which his teacher hasn't even begun instructing him on yet. The song sounded polished and vibrant--he even nailed the dynamics.
When he finished the song and smugly turned back to the laptop to hear his teacher's response, there were a few moments of silence, then she simply said, "I can't believe you learned that on your own."
