Natalya,
Thank you very much for being such wonderful student in piano! We LOVED your videos and think that you made awesome job playing so many different music pieces: ‘Hot Cross Buns’, ‘Ode to Joy’, ‘Jingle Bells’. They all sounds great!
We have little tip for you: if you will learn how to cut smaller pieces of the songs like ‘Ode to Joy’ and hide the notes, the memorization of the music will become just piece of cake for you. Please, press F1 for the instructions.
We can’t believe that you managed to learn piano with Alphabet and Solfeggio names at the same time! We LOVE the way you saying Music Alphabet using Solfeggio names! You see, ‘Do Re Mi’ names for music notes promote your voice and ear and soon enough you will learn how to sing different melodies and even write them down on paper! Natalia, you are very cool!
We also loved the way you were dressed on some of the videos. Classy and stylish. You are very beautiful girl!
We know that you are the oldest kid in your family and have more responsibilities then others. Keep doing great job being older sister and try always to be ahead in your piano progress as you are now to help your siblings in case they would ask for it!
Please, also remember: being musically literate is also means to share information about it with other kids. Many of kids never had any chance to learn how to play piano and they don’t know how fun and useful it could be. Help them to know that to learn how to play piano is very important and all kids can do that to become more educated and smart.
We were happy to know that you had met all of your sight-reading requirements! The only one part of graduation exam that had left behind is the piano exercises. We are going to email a ‘1st Level Graduate’ certificate to you and in August, after seeing you playing ‘Stretches’ or ‘White and Black Cat’, we’ll mail the actual paper.
Meanwhile, we are going to send you a T-shirt in remembrance our First On Line Recital.
We also nominate Tiana and you for having ‘Classiest look in the recital’.
We are looking forward to see more of your videos with performances and achievements!
