The Life of a Pianist in Training

Name That Tune :-)

Above is a two line excerpt of one of the 3 pieces that my teacher assigned me this fall semester since lessons cranked back up last week.  All of my assignments are super challenging!  On the one shown above, my teacher has already given me correction on playing eighth notes too slow.  What, how did I do that, that's like a 6th grade mistake!  Anyway, I'm thinking about how I am going to learn and play all 3 pieces by the end of the semester!  I think she's trying to kill me.  LOL!  No, really she is a great teacher who pushes me to achieve to the highest level that I can.  Anyway, above is my favorite of my assignments.  I'll leave it a surprise, but it is a popular classical piece that most have heard in their lives either in movies, or when they are out and about just living life.  If you play piano, you may be able to pick it out and figure it out.  I'm excited about this one.  The other two, well, I'll grow from them!  :-)  It's kind of like I don't say that I have bad days anymore, rather I say I had "character building days."  :-)!  Anyway, I'll share the actual performance of this piece once I've mastered it, and performed it before an audience for whoever would like to hear/see it.
