Yeah, the mountain king, difficult.......:

You almost made it! The Mountain king is very "nutritious' for your fine motor skills/both hands coordination. You are playing it very good even for out "Butterfly Ball" Keep practicing it and post your scores. I will tell you, when you are ready for next steps in mastering it.

btw, i sending my update version of Fur Elise.

You are improving. Please, start practicing the piece on 4 or 5 and memorizing by hiding notes with separate and both hands

and Others

(Musette)

(Radetsky March)

Thanks for replying on the Recital.

You developed sight-reading a lot. Congratulations!

Now let's work on rhythm and memory improvement.

For that play all pieces on 4 or 5.

Listen to each piece before practicing by pressing 6 - s (sound)

Play R - RH L - LH and P - PH - (it is for memorizing each piece).

After that find your pieces in TEACHING VIDEOS section and practice them with the metronome and without.

Here how you have to practice:

Good day to you.
As per your instructions and guidance. I have tried out the Mountain King umpteen times. It is exhausting and turning to be bored soon.

Realized that to succeed or to master in one piece of music is difficult. Cannot imagine those who can play so well without reading notes, amazing.

Here it is.

Thank you.

Melissa, do not be so hard on yourself.
First of all, you do not track the figure on the right corner - timing.
After such a short time you managed to develop your piano technique playing a very challenging piece for beginner and show amazing results exactly by improving eye-hand span. Just check your initial videos of playing this piece and see, how your fine motor skills and both hands coordination have improved!

Our certified teachers never start with such piece. It takes a lot of effort to master it.

My suggestion to you: do not overplay any piano pieces. Let them work with your brain. Our system is so profound that makes your mind and muscles working between sessions.

Yes I know my timing for each piece is not at right time or in rhythm which needs to improve.

Melissa, your timing is perfect! Only machine can make 0 (presentation 1-5)
On presentation 6 it is impossible to make 0, since it tracks time in general.
You should be very proud of your achievement!

I will slow down a bit and take it slowly.... LOL.

Good idea. The interaction with the program is very intense. It makes you read music and move your fingers hard. You are already excellent. Just enjoy your journey.

I overplayed and it becomes automatic in my brain and play....

Exactly! Play many songs for the Butterfly Ball. Remember? It will be about quantity - not quality.

What tempo range should I use when i use the metronome. My brain refuses to follow the metronome at times. Range 46-50?

Use the tempo that fits your comfort zone. Increase gradually.
