I am glad you remember that!
This is exactly why we have Butterfly Ball every winter and ever child gets a butterfly per song: I want them to play more pieces without polishing them. Butterfly Ball is about quantity. Graduation is about quality. This way will be perfect on both sides.
I did not realize this about the two recitals... I way actually telling Heidi off the wrong way, that she can not post any song for the butterfly ball, unless she plays it very well. I was trying to get her not to learn as many songs as possible just for the butterflies
She will be happy to count her butterflies now
When she writes a song down she usually does it at the table by singing the song and here and there she runs to the piano to check where she is not sure. For the sheet of music she wrote she did the notes on purpose round so they would be similar with daddy's sheet music from the orchestra.
Heidi is not a natural talent in rithm, but she has improved. We also go to a "musical kindergarten" class that is held in the local music school and it has a lot of games and group contests about rithm. She is now at the point at where she does not do it right just by seeing the notes (duration) but once I explain it to her she understands and tries to do it better... but she needs a lot of practice especially with combinations of eight notes.
She probably takes after me
