very different.

So it's kids that are sending in songs they've written versus how well they play piano.

And it wasn't just for piano compositions.

It was also poetry and short stories and dance and art.

And so, yeah, 300,000 kids did enter this, but only about 45,000 were for music entries.

And again, not for playing piano, for composing.

And it's great.

It's a super, it's great, great, super cool thing.

I would encourage 100% for kids to send in stuff that they've written.

And these particular Payam students did really well.

But again, it wasn't in piano playing.

It was in composing.

So it's like, okay.

And throughout the entire story, the PyM guy was kind of not giving the students credit for like the work that they've done.

He was sort of, it made it feel like it's all about his system that he's developed.

It's so simple, like anyone can do it.

Whereas these kids are obviously putting in a lot of work and doing the stuff you need to do to be able to get better slowly over time.

And all of that's fine.

You know, all of that is fine.

If you want to have whatever system you want to use to teach and you think it's the best system, it's totally fine.
