Robby was a young boy sent to piano lessons by his elderly, deaf mother who wanted to hear him play. Though unmusical, Robby persisted in lessons to please his mother. When he stopped attending, his teacher assumed he gave up. However, Robby asked to perform in an upcoming recital. Doubting his skills, the teacher reluctantly agreed. At the recital, Robby gave a stunning performance in memory of his mother, who had just passed away, allowing her to hear him play for the first time.
