Snippet #2377407

Slipping into my seat, I shifted my weight uncomfortably on the stool as I prepared to play. Hearing our teacher clear her throat loudly, I positioned my fingers over the keys and let them hover while I glanced at the sheet music. Don't screw it up man, I told myself as I began to play the introducing melody, adding the chords when necessary. A small smile appeared on my face as I continued to play, glancing down occasionally to watch my hands travel over the keys effortlessly, somehow creating this song I had come to know so well and love. Maybe a minute or so later, I finished up, adding my own twist by playing the intro melody with both hands as my 'big finish'. Finally I lifted my hands from the piano and let them settle in my lap before slowly standing up.
