Heidi 6yro Romania

Next we studied the Introductory Songs on level P5 in order to work on our reading skills and hopeing to be able to play any song using level 5 only.

Progress was really good with Heidi: do-sol is very good to great, la-do is good - she still mixes them up sometimes. Left hand is also good.

She did not remember the songs from last year (meaning we did not rehearse them enough after learning them at first ), except for French Song and Hot Cross Buns.
Here is Heidi sight reading on P5:

Another thing we worked on, especially now that she can read P5, was note duration and representation. We used teaching videos for all of them.
Ode to Joy:




Little fir tree:


Jingle Bells:

During this time we also played Note duration game. Longest time was 29 mins reaching L21 and finishing the game (cand't remember score and couldn't find the piece of paper where I wrote it down)

Next we started on Jesus Joy of Men's Desire.

Do you have any suggestions on other songs for the next month or for the recital?

And a question I have: the teaching videos have a quite slow rithm compared to what Heidi would tend to sing it. Should I ask her to stick to that rithm even after learning the piece and fingering for it, or should I encourage her to play it she would sing it?
