Maria (age 3) Prep level B

Since I played Liebestraum last month and Turkish March this month, she wanted to add them to her list of songs. Now she is working on 5 songs, and doing quite well with them! All played on P3.

Segment 7
Maria practiced Hanon playing it up and down, which was very hard for her to remember which finger to stretch! She also continued to play White cat/Black cat and played La to La

Note Duration Game: It took her a while to catch on to how to play this game, but she started doing really well. She wanted to play longer, but I usually had her stop whenever she reached the end of a level, so she didn't spend all her practice on the game!
6-4:04, 10-5:15, 0-9:12, 4-3:02, 6-2:46, 58-3:00, 90-3:46, 48-3:10, 62-2:19, 62-2:37, 65-1:57, 55-2:49

She wanted to play Spring Time Song in addition to her other songs. I had to really work hard to convince her that she did not need to play both hands. It is OK to play with only the right hand until she gets that down. So her scores are on R3 and R4: 69/91-211, 71/91-235, 84/91-200, 79/91-176, 87/91-193, 86-91-183, 88/91-147, 87/91-128, 86/91-122, 89/91-113, 83/91-87, 88/91-72, 86/91-76

All of her other songs are played on H mode or on P5.

Maria and I have been practicing several exercises this summer. We also are looking through several of last summer's curriculum and trying some of those things. Here are a few videos of Maria having fun with ear training.









We are enjoying this exercise so far.

Thanks! I fixed it. You should be able to see it now.
