Priya begs and begs for a piano and lessons. Her parents try to placate her with a cardboard keyboard, and her diligence at “practicing” finally convinces them to give in and buy a real one. But now Priya is disappointed – she can’t make the wonderful sounds she heard in her head as she practiced on the cardboard keyboard! A resourceful girl, she comes up with an ingenious solution that creates havoc at the Fall Recital.
