Up

My 2 cutest, funnest, bestest piano students brought me Valentines today.
   One of them brought me a pipe-cleaner heart-shaped bracelet.
   And one of them also (not as a Valentine) brought me a composition of her own, written out (on plain paper she lined herself) — the grand staff (two clefs), a time signature (ok, half of a time signature, but does the bottom number even matter? Nah), unison and non-unison segments, everything!
   Its title: "Up and Down". First it went up, then it went down. It rocked.
   We have done a little improv together, I taught her to read music, and she works out of my theory books while her sibling has a lesson, but we'd never done notation!
