Every sunday, I would take my weekly jog to go see Pedro, the Mexican IT guy that lives really close to home to take a morning beer. Next to his place lives a Chinese couple. They have that daughter that comes back from school every week end and play piano. They keep windows open so we can hear them very clearly.

The girl always plays the same two songs. Always. For months. Back in 'Merica, Sandreen - she's Patsy's daughter, plays the banjo and by the age of 14, she could improvise and never play the same song over and over.

Is it common Chinese girls always slow to learn new song, or is it just Pedro's Chinese neighbours' daughter who is a slow learner?
