APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Hannah, a young pianist is obsessed with having every note be perfect.  When a wrong note interferes at her recital, she is devastated. Her little sister shows Hannah, however, that a wrong note can be a dance and a song all of its own. 

Hannah seemed awfully young to be so obsessed with perfection in her music - I was glad to see her notions shaken up and relaxed. We all need a reminder that perfection is a progression and maybe not the real goal. Gagnon’s personification of the notes as performers was so much fun.
