Scene to read · Resilience, Self-awareness
Blanked
You are an advanced piano student who also helps your teacher with younger students.
At the studio's spring recital, your mind went blank halfway through your piece and you had to start again. Afterwards, in the hallway, your teacher comes over with Hana, a 12-year-old student you help each week.
The scene
Hana: I saw you forget. My recital is next month. Now I'm scared that's going to happen to me too.
Teacher: (gently, to you) Why don't you tell her how you're feeling about it?
The two questions
- 1What would you say to Hana?
- 2How do you recover after making a mistake in front of other people?
