Emphasis Preaching Journal

A piano looks ominous to us when we first sit down at the keyboard. White keys, black keys. And they're not in a simple pattern. Let's see, here's a white key and a black one to the right of it. Another white key and another black one. Then two white keys in succession. What's going on?

We start taking piano lessons and a kindly teacher explains the keys to us. She assigns us a simple melody, and we delight in learning to play it just right.
