Who composed this haunting music?
Six and a half year old Ella did. She often sits at the piano and just plays sounds she likes. Using bits and pieces of songs she is practicing, she seems to follow her ear and just play.
She has figured out how to record herself on the piano, so yesterday she came into the kitchen saying: “Who’s playing the piano, daddy?”
Piano lessons are great, but my question is: How do you nurture a young composer to pursue that instinct and compose more?

I wondered why Ella was wearing her summer dress and realized the photo is from this past summer where she tinkered @ Auntie Joan’s beautiful new piano. Here’s hoping she inherited both Joan’s talent & perseverance!
