Titus, 10yo, Michigan, USA, Level 1

Thank you for the suggestion. We did try it more and it has been helpful, though Titus is somewhat reluctant to do that because he says he can do it without the blue line.

December's lessons got Titus really excited when Lesson 15 had a picture of him!


A few notes from this past month: We did have a bit of trouble with the letters. The letter 5 link in Lesson 15 was in Russian and though I know Russian, Titus does not and he was somewhat discouraged, but at first I translated and then we found the letter via another means. Also, in Lesson 17, the Music Theory video was in Russian and I could not find an English version of it to show Titus. Also, the LMZ file in Lesson 17 was not for Letter 6, but still the same as for letter 5 (about the Maid of Honor and Princess subdominant).

None of this stopped us from thoroughly enjoying our lessons and learning a lot! Thank you for all the hard work and effort, especially into making all the lessons into more manageable and easy to access chunks, when they are broken up by lesson, so we can focus on a lesson per week, and each lesson is also so helpfully broken up into the different sections, like exercises, ear training etc.
