Bae Ro Na is singing gracefully that accompanied by piano with her new tutor.

"Bravissima. You're so good, Ro Na. I think this will do for the Italian song. What's the german song?" Professor said clapping.

"What German song? Don't they test on two Italian songs?" Ro Na said.

"Didn't you see Cheong Ah High's notice? They changed the exam this year. Didn't you know they added a German song starting this year?"

"Oh, no. I don't speak any german."

"Oh, my gosh. Jenny heard long ago and has been practicing German songs. This won't do. Starting today, we'll focus on German songs. First, shall we start by interpreting a few?" Professor said who brought a new music notes and put it in front of Bae Ro Na.

"Won't it be too late to start now?"

"You're smart, so you'll catch up in no time. But you must practice hard, and follow my lead well."

"I'll work really hard."

"Shall we start with Schubert's 'Die Forelle'? Ms. Jennifer?"

In einem Bächlein helle, da schoß in froher Eil
Die launische Forelle vorüber wie ein Pfeil
Ich stand an dem Gestade und sah in süßer Ruh
Des muntern Fischleins Bade im klaren Bächlein zu
Des muntern Fischleins Bade im klaren Bächlein zu

Ein Fischer mit der Rute, wohl an dem Ufer stand
Und sah's mit kaltem Blute, wie sich das Fischlein wand
Solang dem Wasser helle, so dacht ich, nicht gebricht
So fängt er die Forelle mit seiner Angel nicht
So fängt er die Forelle mit seiner Angel nicht

Doch endlich ward dem Diebe die Zeit zu lang
Er macht das Bächlein tückisch trübe und eh ich es gedacht
So zuckte seine Rute, das Fischlein aus Fischlein zappelt dran
Und ich mit regem Blute, sah die Betrogene an
Und ich mit regem Blute, sah die Betrogene an

The professor sang.

"Let's try this line first." Professor said.

Bae Ro Na sang gracefully at the same time with Ha Eun Byeol whose singing in her home with her mother.
