piano keys

So I am taking a piano course. I love it and it is most definately my favorite class I have this semester. This morning I went into class early because I needed to grab a practice room since I was out of town last weekend and have not had any practice. I walked in Miss Joy's office and got the keys to unlock the classroom to let myself and two other students in and this one student, Beth, started to play this song that she wrote with her mother. It was so beautiful I can not come up with any words to describe the song. I watched her fingers dance up and down the piano keys so quickly and gently like she has done this her whole life. This morning I woke up with a pulsing migraine and was not feeling well at all. When she played the song it was like I wasn't in pain from the migraine it was pure beauty. Miss Joy and I made her play it a few more times and all I could do was sit and stare with the biggest smile on my face. It's kind of funny how the smallest thing could ruin such a beautiful moment. One of the other students that walked into the room could not plug in his headset and get started on his lesson. Turns out half of the headsets were out and we could not get them to work. While working on Beth's head set I discovered how to unplug the pedals (we use electric pianos in the class rooms and uprights in the practice room) but after lots of where the crap and how the crap I finally got it plugged in. As far as I know when I walked out of class five pianos still had no headsets.
