Alison Cassidy - Dancing the Music

When I was small
I learned the piano.
I didn't practice,
I didn't have to.
It was so easy.

When I was eight
I played in a concert.
I was super confident,
I 'froze' half-way through.
I nearly died!

I practiced and practiced
'till I got very good.
I was school pianist,
I sat for exams,
I always got honors.

When I left school,
I stopped the piano.
No time to practice.
I bought recordings
and listened to them.

Now I'm older,
I've learned to dance.
I don't practice
I don't have to.
It's so easy.
