]]> A reader sent me this amusing story:

I taught a beginning keyboard group experience for 4-5 years olds – before anything was on the market – at a local community center.  I had 5 preschoolers per class and we got to know each other very well in the small sessions.  

I was at the local mall and my student Jennifer was there with her mom.  I caught her tugging on her mom’s arm and asking, “Why is Miss Patti here? Doesn’t she stay and live at school with the keyboards?”  

I chuckled to myself not only because it was so cute, but wondered “who” released me out of the music room.
