My daughter performed on behalf of her class in the annual school concert today. She played so  36   that I could not help cheering her. The very   37   reminded me of her experiences of piano practicing.

When she was five, we gave her a piano as a birthday present. With great   38  , she began learning it. However, when she was no longer   39  , she became sick of it.   40  , it is a tough job to learn the piano, not to mention the daily routine（常规）of   41  .

When her first teacher left, my friend   42   me to an American teacher whose way of teaching was completely American. After practicing, she would give my daughter some   43   comments, and then point out what should be   44  . Every time she came,   45   beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some   46  . She said, “To learn the piano, you should learn not only the   47   of playing, but more importantly, to   48   the music and love it.”

After some time, my daughter became fond of her lessons. Sometimes she   49   would like to 50   a little bit when her skill had reached a certain level.

Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Mom, I was   51   that you didn’t give up my piano lessons. Learning it is like climbing a mountain. You’ll feel   52   when you are on the way. When you look   53   from where you are, you will realize that you have been making   54  . But if you   55  , you’ll never take one more step.” That was the very thing I wanted to teach her.

When my daughter was five, we gave her a piano as her birthday gift, with great excitement, she began learning piano under the teacher's guidance．Nevertheless, when she was no longer curious about it, she been me sick of it． After all, it is a tough job to learn piano, not to mention the daily of practice．Therefore, every time, I had to urge her again and again, either to force or offer her some profits for the practice．She always felt uncomfortable sitting on that stool, so she would either scratch her nose or ears, or hide in the bathroom for quite a long while,

Her first teacher left and moved some where else, my friend introduced me to an American teacher．The American teacher’s way of teaching was complete American style．After practicing, she would give my daughter some good comments on the excellent part （despite it being just a small one）, and then point out what should be improved．What's more, every time she came, instead of beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some music．She said, "To learn playing the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more importantly, to feet tire music and love it．"

To my surprises my daughter gradually became fond of piano lessons．Sometimes she even would like to show off a little bit in class after her kill-had-reached a curtain level．Her confidence and sense of achievement were enhanced （增强） with the appreciation and acknowledgement from her teachers and classmates．

     Surprisingly, my daughter said to mc one day, "Morn, I was lucky because you didn't give up my piano lessons．Learning piano is like climbing a mountain．You'll feel tired when you are on the way．When you look down from where you are, you will realize that you have been making progress．But if you stop, you will never, take one more step．” Hearing these inspiring words．I could not hold back my tears, thinking: that is the very thing I want to teach her, something that is more important than learning piano．
