Huh?

[He listens to that melody that he hums, taking in the notes. He's never heard that song before, but already his mind is analyzing it, imagining the notes and rhythm in his head. His hands hover close to the area of the piano where he theorizes it'd be played.

Still, he wasn't expecting to hear a song, so he was caught a little off guard. So-]

Hum that one more time?

[compendiem]

[ He hums the tune again, a little slower, the notes drawn out the best he can, although he has to pause and catch his breath more often because humming is not something he can apply circular breathing to. ]

[fiddlestick]

[ He listens to the piece quietly. Then once Minato's done, his fingers will go to the piano keys and with eyes shut, he'll start playing back the theme. Despite only hearing it twice? It's played perfectly to what Minato hummed. ]


...Yeah, I think I can teach that.

[compendiem]

[ There it is. It's not an overly complicated melody, but playing without mistakes is still impressive. Minato trying to put the song onto sheet music would be chicken pecking individual keys through trial and error until he finds one that sounds sort of right. Too bad they're chords and not single notes.

Anyways!! he scoots back a little closer to Elliot, although he keeps his hands on his lap instead of raising it to the keyboard. Do your teaching thing. ]

[fiddlestick]

[Does the teaching thing!! Which we will handwave because Yuff cannot fake actually playing the piano. Still, he'll be patient and encouraging to Minato through the lesson. Like a good kindergarten teacher or something.

Congrats on learning a soundclip of canon music Minato]

[compendiem]

[ It'll be a lot of repetition, with Elliot playing through a passage and then letting Minato have a turn until he can start committing it to muscle memory and learn to anticipate what notes are coming up next. Minato's playing is slow and faltering, but the notes are all there and now whenever Elliot leaves his piano for even a fraction of a minute, he will hear this little section of canon music playing and it will haunt him in place of discordant piano key mashing. ]

[ It's okay. Could be worse. Could be Pachelbel's Canon for cello players. ]
