A reserved ten-year-old boy known as “Win” has a great passion for playing musical instruments. Every year, he joins the afterschool program to learn how to play different instruments. Win learns to play an instrument that no other kid wants to learn to play. His teacher, Mr. Raymond, with his disability, finds a unique way to teach Win how to play the steel drum. Mr. Raymond helps Win with his confidence to play in front of people for the first time. Win imagines himself with Mr. Raymond’s disability to perform and learns a valuable lesson that practicing helps him to get better but will not be perfect.
