Thanks Wesley! I'll show this to my student. Actually, I suspect that the arrangement is a little too difficult for him, but I sure don't want to discourage him.

I've taught him piano (really just showed him stuff to play) off and on for about eight years. He approached me wanting to just play stuff he liked as opposed to learning the fundamentals. As it evolved, he just copies what I show him. I never dreamed he would stick with it this long. He's one of those kids that has tremendous natural abilities in all things kinesthetic (?) but just never sees the need to work at fundamentals. As it's turned out, he has such a love for making music on the piano and a wonderful support system with lots of the right encouragement, so has really enjoyed making music. He leaves for college in the fall, and I hope he will continue to experience all kinds of music.

He told me that George Winston started playing piano at age 18. Is this true?

Thanks again,
Mary
