Christina's progress with Softmozart .

In this video Matti was trying for the first time to play with five fingers . It was actually the first time he sits at the keyboard and says : mama please can you teach me . it was like music to my ears . i guess he was motivated by his sister success
Helena it is clear that he is not very comfortable with his fingers , we will continue to practice but is there any activities , exercises that can help ??

He has an excellent fingers' awareness!
Time to start learning exercises:

To save your energy make some 'music money' from construction paper - butterflies or flags - and 'pay' Matti for every right move! :lol:

He is GREAT with his fingers for the boy of his age! I gave you the link to the exercises. Also, let him play Introductory songs and each time he does it with correct finger, pay him! He will develop fine motor skills in no time!

Viv, my boys loved listening to Tina play and sing. She has such a beautiful little voice.

Tina, I can't believe my eyes and ears!
What a progress after our last meeting on Skype!
I am SO proud of you! You now play using both hands and singing.
WOW!

thanks hellene , Skype session worked like magic for Tina . I really want her to play for herself but for now her motivation to practice is playing well for the lady on skype if left for her she is the type who wants to play but keep thinking i will do it later I am busy now doing other things . I stopped being so flexible and decided to be firm : mama you need to practice now , Hellene is expecting a video by the end of the week

what we are working on now is :
hanon stretch exercise , black cat white cat , one new intro song today she will start ode to joy , note alphabet , guess key game .

thank you
