“Thanks, professor!” One of Cooper’s students called out as they ran out down the hallway, just having asked for extra help with their lessons. It always warmed his heart to hear a student wanting to better themselves or to be as passionate about music as he was. It was a rarity nowadays, but that’s what made it all the more worth it. Cooper hand his hands in his hand pockets as he continued down the hall, noticing someone had walked by and dropped a piece of parchment. “Pardon,” Cooper called out, bending over and picking up the piece, “You dropped this.”
