Yesterday my piano student and I decided that my kitty Ginger is not a traditional puddy cat, but a pushy cat. She wanted to help Emily play and give her artistic comment while on her lap. Although it did help Emily to keep her wrists higher we did opt to excuse Ginger pushy cat. Last week I was particularly delited when Alex told me her favortie piece was the "New World Sympathy." One does need sympathy to play a symphony so it works for me. LLL
