When Noah made it his own paper piano and he could hear the music

Noah was not patient but it reminded me of when I wanted to play a piano too. I was so excited and I thought I would make a beautiful song at first but it didn't go fine until my dad printed some papers and taught me how to play and know which keys to press. In the book, Noah's mummy's friend taught him how to play the piano then he performed to his mum and sister and then he performed to the whole world and it was beautiful.

I liked this book because it showed a little story about a boy who learned to play piano and I think it will inspire other people to do different things.
