My student claimed he was going to practice a lot this week:
Student: I get home from school at 3, then I'm going to practice [first piece name] for 12 hours. Me: So...until 3 in the morning? Student: Then I'm going to practice [second piece name] for 5 hours. Me: So until 8 in the morning. Student: So...then I can practice [third piece name] for...15 minutes, and I'll just be one minute late for school. Me: Do you know what accents are?
Student: Yeah, you play the piano with a Spanish one, or a French one, or a German one, or... Beginning piano student: I like the idea of piano, because I just think it's cool.
