Rachel 4 year old

Dear Parents,

I have been receiving some resistance from Rachel of practising the piano since we had a long break in December. She does not want to play long songs and her concentration on piano is not as the same as before. I also receive the same response from her for other academic work.

According to Ms Hellene, this is a normal reaction from young children. Ms Hellene, suggested a few steps that I had followed and it had work well and I am seeing progress with Rachel's playing and improved in concentration.

Ms Hellene, suggested that I make some paper money to encourage her to play well. Instead of paper money, I make colour butterfly pictures and print out 50 of them. I would place it on the piano whenever she plays well. But she still does not like me to take away her paper butterfly if she does not play well. Rachel will tell me not to take it away but she will try her best to play well. Secondly, Ms Hellene choose a shorter song but a nice song that will improve her hand technique.

After collecting the paper butterfly, I allow her to exchange for a sticker. Rachel wants to play the piano every day and she is looking forward to exchange to sticker with the paper butterfly. She volunteer and told me that she wants to play a new song two days ago - GARDEN.
