Maria was seated at her piano, her fingers effortlessly gliding over the keys. The melody of a Chopin nocturne filled the room, the notes flowing like water. Discovering her daughter, Sofia's, secret YouTube channel, "MusicMuse," didn't disturb the flow of her day.

She'd listened to the recordings. Sofia's voice, sweet and clear, accompanied by her own piano playing. It was… beautiful. Maria closed her eyes, letting the music wash over her.

She finished the piece, her fingers resting gently on the keys. A feeling of peace spread through her. Tomorrow, she would offer some constructive criticism.
