Piano time

Our darling Raina has expressed a significant musical interest, which we have finally done something about. Raina began phase one of her musical career yesterday, as she attended her first piano lesson. It was adorable -- totally kid-oriented and fun. She also received practice instructions: 5 minutes, 4 times a week, was the age-appropriate determination by her piano teacher. How much time did Raina spend? Eighty-five minutes straight yesterday, not including her 30 minutes lesson. I knew that music would give her something to do with her incredible focus! Fortunately/Unfortunately, parents are the auditory recipients of piano practice, and 85 minutes of the same song was almost my mental undoing. But it was heartwarming to see her so enthusiastic. I hope she continues to enjoy the piano as much as she does now.
