Lauren, my little pianist

For nearly every week for the past year, my mom has driven Lauren to Little Neck after school for 30-minutes of piano lesson at her teacher's home.  Week by week, practice session by practice session, lesson by lesson, Lauren got great!  Up until recently, I didn't have the opportunity to hear Lauren play much.  But now that she caught the 'piano is fun' bug, she plays every chance she gets, which means she even plays when Tae and I get home from work.  Lauren loves her piano teacher.  The teacher's daughter is in college and is also a talented pianist.  She performs for Lauren when she happens to be home during her lesson.  The hand gestures and accented play, according to my mom, is influenced by watching her teacher's daughter.  See, so important to surround your kids with positive influences! 

Here's a brief clip of Lauren playing at 5 years old.
