I am a mother of 2 girls of 3.5 and 5 yrs. We are all 3 learning to play the piano together.
This is what we encourage here, in our community, very much!
Growing up my parents tried to teach me piano but because we did not really afford it I got a lot of uninterested cheap teachers and changed a lot of them every time a cheaper one came along. So nothing good came of it.
In former USSR we had good teachers and government was helping with our music education. But... to find a really good teacher was also a problem. Now I know that the stronger the system of teaching - the weaker our dependency of teachers and their quality.
As a teenager I received a scholarship for one year to study in a danish school my 9th grade and there we had 2 pianos at the boarding school.I liked to watch other students playing the piano and tried to take after what they were doing. Once I came home I had no help so I gave it up again.
Every individual has this inner desire to express oneself in music by making it. Now it is possible!
Now I've been watching soft mozart videos for almost 2 yrs on youtube. I also had the older free demo version with 6 begginer songs and I used it for me and my 2 daughters. Also I have a free demo for the note duration game with 2 levels and my oldest liked it a lot.
I was fascinated by your guess key game and being a programmer I made up a similar game for my girls to play and lean the position of the keys.
This helped them emprove their musical skills and concentration.
Be careful with copyrights of Soft Mozart!
Finally this year as my oldest daughter had her 5th birthday just as you announced the 50%off on all software we thought to ask her if she wanted not gifts for her birthday but money to buy this software and we promised to put in the difference to match the price for a 12mth subscription.
She was very interesed and we are glad we chose SM. Now we started folowing the academy program for little over a week andwriting down our progress in a notepad.
Thanks a lot!
Great! WE officially start our Academy 16th of September. Personal diaries will help me and other teachers to customize our guidance.
Welcome again!
Glad to have you with us!
