Tomo plays with heart

Tonight as I am struggling to finish some work on an outline and reading things on the internet, I decided to take a break and really appreciate Tomo. On my way to school today, I was listening to Chris O'Reilly's show "From the Top" on NPR. As I was listening to a 12 year old play the Italian Concerto by Bach, I was amazed at his talent. But in that amazement I heard my Tomo's voice telling me that it is about heart and how you make that beautfiul sound on the piano. And I began to question whether the quality that I was hearing was really the beautiful sound that Tomo plays everyday. I remember that Tomo was teaching me how to play that beautiful sound on the piano, and I must say that it wasn't easy. And if it isn't easy for me, I can imagine all the struggle and effort to obtain that sound. So I am thankful for Tomo to teaching me how to distinguish what is a good sound and also to Tomo's teachers that helped her perfect that beautfiul sound that I have the opportunity to hear it everyday. God has given her the talent in hands. One day I would like to hear my Tomo play the Italian concerto by Bach someday. Tanoshimi!!!
