I take after my mother. From her I took over a curious nature, a sense of adventure and bright red hair. However, I did not receive a talent for 16 from her.
My mother never 17 that I would be a child Mozart. She found a 18 Russian woman to be my piano teacher when I was four. I did whatever the teacher told me in order to 19 her. “Feel the music,” she always told me, I “felt” it. But what is more unpleasant than too many wrong notes played continuously? She “felt” my music, too, which is why she always left with a(an) 20 expression.

That method worked for a week, until my mother began to 23 why I always missed the same note. She came in and found that I had fallen asleep while the tape of my 24 played on and on.
Realizing I couldn’t be a Mozart, my mother told me to pick another 25 . From then on, I worked my way through several other instruments, but I still couldn’t play any of them 26 .
