Nastya age 5

The photo resembles exactly what is happening in my family. It is a good thing that younger brothers and sisters are listening to their siblings and see how they learn. They usually imitate everything the older ones do, so I hope when Alexandra will turn 24 months, she would be happy to start learning by herself. It will be very soon, just half a year...

We have a productive lesson today when Nastya came from school. She asked to play by herself, that is a good sign of her liking the program.
We have started to learn to play with both hands and of course it is harder for her. Firstly she wanted to press the keys with left hand every time she press with her right hand. Then she got the idea of holding the keys with left hand while playing with the right, but sometimes she didn't hold it long enough. After a few times of playing with both hands ( she played the left hand only earlier) the score for JB was 45/45 -63. We'll try to improve that in the following days.
Then she asked me to play the other song. So we started to choose the song and she was excited that she knows and can sing many of them. But I advised her to learn OJ , and she liked it as it is a little bit similar to the five finger exercise and it is not hard. On her second attempt she got 20 for her right hand and 10 for her left.
The main problem is that she doesn't hold the keys long enough. I was trying to explain to her to wait for the butterflies but she didn't manage to do it. I think she just doesn't really understand why she should hold it and not play faster. So, we have to work on this.
I have been also amazed today when my 17 month daughter came to the piano, and press the key with "Bear" on it for "MI" in Russian and said :"Mi,Mi,MI". And then she looked at me to see my reaction. I clapped my hands and praised her, of course.
So far I am very happy with the program and the way it teaches music. I see the result in just a week. It is amazing!

Hellene, I have a question. My daughter asked me to learn the song about the christmas tree, but I usually try to learn the song by myself before teaching her. So, I was trying to do that and got confused. I do not know what fingers to use for different notes. And I could not find any video or explanation on this. What is the best way to overcome this problem?
