I'm 10 years old. My piano teacher (the soloist for the St. Louis Philharmonic) hands me sheet music like that and says "transcribe this down a minor third."

And I'm like "what?!?!?" "Mrs Lange, I'm 10 years old. It's Saturday morning. I should be out playing with my friends."

Thought it, but didn't say it. Just sat down with a blank score and pencil and started working. She was one tough teacher. She could tell within 15 minutes how much I'd practiced that week. And I was just 10! Thanks, mom.

My piano lessons were two hours every Saturday morning. One hour of theory on paper. One hour at the keyboard. Brutal.
