I play the piano but not very well since I didn't learn until high school.  Do you play any instruments?
I don't, but I've always wanted to learn how to play the piano! Is it difficult?
It is easy to learn how to use your fingers but learning sheet music is something I could never achieve.  The sheet music has the rhythms and cords neatly laid out on paper for you.
I have seen sheet music and it looks like it's in an alien language! Do you know where sheet music originated?
It was over 2000 years ago in what we call Iran.  Its been around forever!
Oh my!! It sure has been! What other neat facts can you teach me?
The piano wasn't invented until 1700 in Italy and it was invented to have the strings struck by hammers.   I always thought the piano had been around longer than that!
Yeah, actually I did too! That's really interesting! So many great composers lived in Italy!
