Piano Love

By Charlotte Barrie, 11, from Northampton.

One day when I came home from school
I noticed as I walked past the wall
That through the window I could see
A grand piano waiting for me
I ran inside and touched a key
The tone so clear I filled with glee
I touched another, then one more
But stopped as I heard a knock at the door
I said to myself who on Earth could this be
Why would someone come and visit me?

I opened the door and in front of me stood
A little old lady wearing a hood
She said "Ah young lady you must be
The girl who shall be taught by me
I can teach you how to play
And be a fine pianist one day
This note is middle C
Now play D, E, F and G
My word young girl you learn so fast
Though I'm not sure your pace will last"

So when my piano teacher left I went and had my tea
But first I touched another key
Now piano tunes fill every day
The pressures of life just fade away
I'm ever so glad I learnt to play
Unlike my neighbours, not yet anyway.
