The Piano

I have longed for piano lessons for the boys.

One program never worked well.
I had visions of Chopin, and ended up with nothing.

One program taught chords,
But we never got beyond that, without music notation.

A friend mentioned an online course.
I watched the first one and almost cried.

Singing solfege.
A simple technique to train the fingers.

Boys who stayed up late and later
To practice singing, “Hot Cross Buns.”

The next day: posture.
Proper finger position. No one has ever mentioned this.

I woke up happy just thinking about it.
What a gift.
