Boys were strange strange creatures. Some of them could be wet, wild and messy. Some could be sweet and crafty. Some could be sneaky little buggers. And some could even be shy little nerds who needed something gentle to learn. Tizzy was just fine with this - she'd dealt with all sorts of boys and girls in her time. But getting to have a clean simple room was nice every once in a while.
Today she was teaching a boy called Pippin who seemed to take a lot after his humility side - were all spawn of that sort soft and sad and shy? - and needed something less active to do for his Skills class. So, she'd done what seemed best - hefted a grand piano into her classroom and planned on teaching him to play. That was normal, right?

Pippin had been walked to the door with his mother, she gently held his hand before turning him to face her, "Now you be good sweetheart, and I'll be back in a little bit to get you." the classic words of a mother as she kissed him on the forehead and opened the door for him.
Walking in the boy looked around, tilting his head tenderly as he approached who could only be his teacher, "Umm, hi. My name is Pippin, I'm supposed to learn the piano?" he sounded hesitant, and felt foolish for doing so as he laid eyes on the large piano before the woman. "Obviously..." he said with a nervous laugh.

Tizzy's mechanical face pulled a small smile and the woman gestured to the bench beside her. "You are correct. Do sit down."
"Have you any experience with the instrument previously?" the android inquired, mostly starting conversation to sooth him into a comfort zone but all in an attempt to gauge how much he'd seen or heard this instrument before.

Pippin looked at the seat, he seemed unsure at first but eventually placed himself next to the strange woman. She was odd, not like the type of people he normally saw, but he would keep his manners and stay quiet about it.
When she asked the question it didn't take him long to answer, "N-no..." he said simply, his nerves getting to him as they usually did when he first met someone. Not only was this person new, but so was the environment and the large instrument that was placed in front of him. It was all so strange.

"Good. Then you shant have any preconceived notions about it." Tizzy explained in a tone to emphasize her delight.
Carefully she showed the boy where to place his hands. "These are your main keys. Do you need me to put markers on the C keys so you can remember where they are? It's perfectly all right if you do."

Pippin looked nervously down at the keys, it felt so much different when his hands were actually on the keyboard. "I... er... maybe..." he said, not wanting to feel lame in any way by having to take this measure. He just really was unsure if he would be able to remember the placement of all of the keys, and the nervousness surely wouldn't help the situation.
"Yeah, if ya wouldn't mind... please..." he asked, trying to be polite as he looked up at his teacher. Even as he looked, his hands remained, afraid that he would lose his place.
