Gavin is a 5 year old boy with moderate hearing impairment.  Although it may be hard for him to pick up every speech sound, he does quite well with piano sounds and loves to compose and perform piano improvisation.  He is quite musical and sometimes I can't believe these sounds come from my little boy, but I shouldn't be surprised since he was born into a musical family.  He really likes to resolve the dissonant sounds, but doesn't rush to do it right away, so it creates muscial tension. I also think the big flourish at the end is perfect.  Pretty good for a 5 year old.
