You know you've failed when...

In a piano lesson a few days ago I asked one of my students to identify the following symbol:


I was hopeful I would received the correct answer: "a sharp", or maybe even something close, like "a flat" or "a natural."

But instead I received this answer: "a tick-tac-toe board?"

Obviously I'm not getting through to these kids!!

(Take into account, she is only 5, BUT STILL!)

I love it! I have to be honest though it was a pretty creative answer.

Annette said...

Ha! That is funny. However, that symbol could mean a bunch of things... so at least she had an answer ready. :)

That is hilarious! I am so NOT musical though so I probably would have said the pound sign... I'm retarded :)

Adam loves The Alchemist as far as favorite books. Ben is supposed to be in KC tonight. We'll try to take good care of him ;)
