Noahs Song
I wrote this piece for a former piano student of mine. He was (and presumably still is) exceptionally thoughtful, patient, and sensitive for an eight-year-old; in fact, he had the better of most adults I\u2019ve known in those respects. I wanted a piece that would give him a chance to be really musical \u2014 he had the right stuff for it \u2014 but was within his technical reach and within the physical limitations of the birth defect in his right hand. So this is what I came up with.

He did learn it, and played it quite nicely. This, of course, gratified me to no end.
