Tiny Seeds - Week Five (Second Semester)

Level 1A

Full class again this week!

Emily worked on two lessons today - Lesson Four and Lesson Five. Lesson Four was about learning circle notes and Lesson Five was learning short and long rhythms. Both are not easy lessons and I was only thinking she would do Lesson Four today but since she blew through that quickly she opted to do another. Emily also destroyed Bongo Boy in their face off and even beat him in front of the whole class. Emily is a performer in the making.

Ava, as usual, did EXCELLENT with Lesson Fourteen with Mr. Joplin. The lesson was learning more notes near Middle C which included using Fingers 1, 2 and 3 in both hands. This is so tough for someone Ava's age but she was able to do it and I am very proud of her. Ava really enjoys herself at piano lessons and has a terrific time every time. Keep going Ava!!

Aliyah did awesome with her lesson which was Lesson Nine - learning to identify notes going higher and higher and notes going lower and lower. She played them on the keyboard and did excellent and then the games did some ear training where she heard the notes and had to decide whether they were going higher and higher or lower and lower. Awesome job Aliyah! You're doing terrific!

Bella worked again with Mr. Bach and did really well with him. She's doing great and is really mastering some skills that maybe she wasn't too strong on before. I'm happy Bella has continued to stick with piano and I think she's doing a great job.

Cameron worked on Lesson Fifteen with Mr. Joplin which was pretty much a review of last week's lesson but with a lot more work involved. It was a really long lesson but Cameron stuck with it and the practice session and did her games afterwards. Same result as last week happened - everyone wanted to get involved on her games afterwards.

This class has been so much fun and it's a shame next week is our last class. I wish it could have gone on longer but that's also how I feel about the summer. Most of my kids won't be back in September because they'll be going on to bigger and better things in school. I'll talk more on that next week! I hope everyone is there!!
