Some stuff about Aaron

Aaron is a great kid. He keeps us very entertained. This year he is taking choir as his elective in school. He seems to really like it and we love hearing him practice his singing on occasion. One morning, before school, he was playing something on the keyboard. I couldn't hear what it was because he had the headphones plugged in. I asked him what he was doing. He said he was practicing a song that he had written so he could play it in choir class. Apparently, if someone performs something in class on Fridays, they don't have to take their usual test. I said, "Aaron, you don't play the piano." Nevertheless...he had written a song and it was meant to be heard. I asked him if I could hear it, he unplugged the headphones and played me his song. It was mostly played on the black keys and he used both hands so more notes could be played. When he finished, I told him it was very nice. He seemed a little frustrated and said, "I don't know why, but, it sounds different every time I play it, except this part." (Which happened to be the first few notes of the song.) After school I asked him if he played his song in class, he told me he did. I was pretty impressed. One-that he could write a song and two-that he had the guts to play piano in front of his class and with absolutely no training. I haven't had the chance to ask the teacher how it all went down...but I plan to one day.
