Eileen is 3 years and 2 months. We have just started following the Prep B plans. We tried to do a little when she was 2 year old of Prep A but her little brother was born and we didn't have the free time to do it.

On her first day of Prep B this is what she did:

Score of 5 in Guess Key when playing for 1 minute and singing.

Hot Cross Buns – Right Hand
15 of 15
Time 53

French Song – Right Hand
25 of 28
Time 117


And on her second day (today) this is what she did:

Score of 22 in Guess Key for playing 1 minute and singing

Hot Cross Buns – Right Hand
15 or 15
Time 22

French Song – Right Song
28 of 28
Time 57

Hello, eileenpiano!
I read all of your numbers. It seems like your child is in eye-hand development stage, when it takes to look for a correct key and corresponding note.
Keep up your good job!
You may consider to upload your video on You Tube and place the link here. This way I will be able to see what else is going on.

Thank you, we didn't get to practise much last week as it was her first week of school so today was the first I had a chance to take a video.

For Hot Cross Buns right hand she got 15 of 15 and 18.
For French Song she got 28 of 28 and 48.

Here are some links.

Dear Eileenpiano, thank you very much for sharing your videos! Picture worth 1000 words indeed :)
I can clearly see now that your child is on building eye-hand coordination advance stage. Why advance? Because she is now also have enough 'room' in her mind to develop fingers' awareness and starting managing her fingers.
It is obvious to me that right and left hemispheres of your child's brain are in excellent balance: her empiric and logic conduct go hand in hand together. She stops, because she wants to use the right fingers. It is so fun to watch!
Watch, please, the numbers on the right (timer). When it is going to be equal or less then amount of music notes played, it will be time to start working with both hands.
Playing with both hands is going to increase your child's min dramatically.
Keep us posted about your progress!

Is that a good stage to be at for her age?

In terms of playing with both hands, when the timer does reach that and it is time to start what is the best way to go about it? Should I teach her the left hand separately then get her to put them together once the timer is good with left only? Or is it better to try to add the left hand in to what she is already doing and play both together?

It is perfectly normal. Before any child can walk, she has to have gravity/feet awareness. The same with the fingers and piano keys. Did you have a chance to read my book 'You CAN be a musician'?

We programmed the software the way that timer is catching any delay in pressing the piano keys. The best way is to see the child being comfortable and time is as close to 0 as possible. Child's comfort is priority, though. Our goal is not the perfect performance, but your child and her confidence and self-esteem.

Should I teach her the left hand separately then get her to put them together once the timer is good with left only?


Ask her. She will tell you, if she is ready.

Or is it better to try to add the left hand in to what she is already doing and play both together?


The key word is the willingness of your child. We can't open the flower petals before they are ready to bloom. Your child is perfect by nature. Let her develop organically. Let me know how it goes!
