Tiny Seeds - Week One (Second Semester)

Level 1A

We're back for our summer semester. For some of the kids in the class this will be their last semester with us so let's make it a good one!

Our newest addition to the class Emily was absent today!

Cameron is back and picked up right where she left off with Lesson Twelve which is working with Mr. Joplin who taught her to use all the fingers in her left hand. I know for me that the left hand is difficult because it's not my primary hand so it was extra tough (still is!) but Cameron was able to do it and do it well. Great job!

Ava returned and worked on Lesson Ten with Mr. Bach which was just doing more notes going higher and higher and going lower and lower. It's a really tough lesson for someone as young as Ava is but she did a great job and got the job done. Great work!

Aliyah was back and did Lesson Six with Mr. Bach, a new composer for her, and she worked on holding notes. She held them for two counts, three counts and four counts! I didn't even need to help her. She got it right off the bat. Aliyah is also doing really well with her rhythm training. That stuff is even a little tough for me but she's getting it. It's a good skill to develop early. Keep going Aliyah!

Bella worked with us on Lesson Ten which is the same lesson Ava was doing which was just more notes going higher and higher and so on and so on. It was a tough lesson and I tried giving Bella some help but she was having a tough time. We got through it but it was a tough lesson. That's ok though! We'll keep trying. Not every lesson is going to be easy!

All in all it was a good first class and I'm looking forward to more over the summer.
