All of us who are acquainted with the piano know that the keyboard consists of a series of white and black keys.

The naturals, which make up most of the keyboard, are white, while the sharps and flats, which make up the rest of the keys, are black.

However, what is not commonly known is that centuries ago, the colours on the piano were reversed (black naturals, and white sharps).

If you’ve seen the award-winning film La La Land, you’ll know it features a lot of piano. But you may also have noticed Ryan Gosling’s character playing a rather strange looking instrument when on stage with The Messengers.

Kathy’s replies shocked me! She requested that the payments be made monthly instead of quarterly, so that they would be easier to track. She would not honour 4 lessons out of the total of 24 conducted since the last payment, as she suspected I wasn't here for these lessons. The last reply really hit me straight in the face: "I didn't check the earlier months. I trusted you, you know. Now I check this month, and it's like this!"
