She is working on the ''Introductory Songs'' album.
This is a video taken today doing exercises.

Annamaria has excellent fine motor skills and very good both hands coordination. She can play Hanon #1 in 2 octaves. This will increase the endurance of her small muscles. She also can play slower and say the Solfeggio names of the keys. It will help her Music Alphabet skills development.

And a picture from last weekend.

Picture is beautiful! Did she finish the entire game in 34 minutes? Wow! You children ARE very focused!

Songs : All played at level P3+Solfeggio:
New Year Tree 57/57 41sec
French Song 48/48 24sec
Ode to Joy 48/48 23sec
Jingle Bells 37/37 48sec
Hot Cross Buns 37/37 8sec

These pieces are ready to be memorized and learned with TEACHING VIDEOS.

The Fir-tree 68/68 61sec
Happy Birthday Song 37/37 39sec

These pieces require more work for both hands' coordination / fingers' management.

I think, your daughter is ready to start Level 1 pieces:
Let her choose:
Fav Classics 1: Musette, Largo, Ode to Joy
Nursery 1: Hickory, Little Dog Gone, This Old Man, Pop! Goes the weasel, Old woman in a shoe (the last one is the hardest in the list.

PS
Christian and Annamaria are ready to participate in the Butterfly Ball. Feel free to plce the links of them playing R,L or both hands of any songs that they practice in the recital area. They will receive their Certificates and Butterflies afterwards,
I recommend to rush doing so in order to motivate them to learn piano and to feel as part of our community.

Exercises:Hanon1. Chromatic Scale. Do scale.
