A2 Both Thumbs

A2 both thumbs
C sharp next
Yes you got it
Very good
And again
One and two and...

The teacher softly
Calling the beat
Her student singing
The count as well
With fingers dancing
Over the keyboard

Playing first this measure
Then that one
Snippets of music
Giving only a hint
Of the beauty
That is to come

First the right hand
Then the left
Then both together
With the music
Then without
Mind and body learning

And then suddenly
When time is almost up
The teacher calls
For the entire piece
And a small girl
Plays larger than life
