description Shortly after arriving in Montreal from China, a young girl and her father encounter an elderly gentleman named Daniel Mergler in a local park. They soon learn that Mr. Mergler taught piano lessons for more than 50 years. When the teacher discovers that the little girl has a piano and is teaching herself how to play, he asks her to sing for him. Realizing how musical she is, he offers her music lessons without charge. The girl makes significant progress during her 26 magical lessons with her mentor. Then, sadly, Mr. Mergler becomes gravely ill and can teach no more. Before he dies, he writes his star pupil a letter of encouragement and bequeaths to her a bust of Ludwig van Beethoven.
