Rachel 4 year old

Here is a video of Rachel playing Midnight Blue from James Bastien

Dear parents,

We upgrade our keyboard to a YAMAHA digital piano 2 weeks ago. We are very happy with the purchase and the program works well with the piano. I am now letting my son age 2 year old learning Soft Mozart using the key board.

I created a video of Rachel learning to play Entertainer (part 1) using the Soft Mozart Academy Video. I see very big improvement in her hand technique after started playing using the digital piano and following the Soft Mozart video. We are very happy with her progress with Soft Mozart. . Enjoy the video.

Hello,

We have been on vacation for about a month without the piano. Rachel started playing again for two weeks. We started of with sight reading with Christmas album on (one sharp). Most of the time she will forget to play the fa sharp but with practice I am sure she will remember. At the same time we played Chords Album E minor. I let her listen to the song once and then hide the left hand. She will have to play her left hand by memory.

During my vacation, I also get to talk to some piano teachers about the program that I am using. They were impressed with Rachel's playing after watching her video. They told me that I have to pay attention to her curve finger and not let her play with flat finger. If the child develop a habit to play with flat finger then it would be difficult to change her habit. Will the child automatically know how to curve their fingers after a lot of playing or parent will need to keep remind them about curving finger? What do parents and teachers on the forum think about her finger?

Sometimes, I am afraid that she might loose interest if I kept reminding her to play with curve fingers. She is also playing Dance with the reed pipes (Nutcracker). Previously, I just let her play anyway she likes but I started to ask her to play with her fingers curve.

Any comments are welcome.
