When the girls were in England (with Grandpa and Darla) they toured around Oxford and Miriam got to play on the organ at Christ Church. Their guide, George, is helping her with the stops at times and told her she should apply to be an organ scholar there. She's been looking into it, but she'd need a number of AP examinations with a score of 5 to qualify (but—one down, right?) and she's not sure she wants to take that many AP exams...
Anyway, here she is playing one of her pieces (she's embarrassed about her playing here, but it's her first time on the organ and each organ has a different feel so it's understandable that she would make a few mistakes):

Alexander: Is that Mimi?
Me: Yes.
Alexander: And she's wearing socks?
Me: Yes.
Phoebe: No! She's wearing glasses!
Phoebe: No! She's wearing glasses!
Me: She is also wearing glasses, yes.
Phoebe: So I was right!
Phoebe: So I was right!
Me: Sure.
Phoebe: Why isn't she wearing shoes?
Me: Because you can't wear regular shoes when you play the organ. You have to wear organ shoes or just sock feet.
Phoebe: Why didn't she wear her organ shoes?
Me: Because she didn't pack them.
Phoebe: But she did pack her glasses.
Phoebe: Why didn't she wear her organ shoes?
Me: Because she didn't pack them.
Phoebe: But she did pack her glasses.
Me: In a way, I suppose. Mostly she just wore her glasses because she needs them to see.
Phoebe: But she didn't pack her shoes. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Phoebe: But she didn't pack her shoes. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Anyway, I think Miriam's playing was lovely.
Brava!!
