Tiny Seeds - Week Six (Second Semester)

Level 1A

It was our last class of the semester and it was a great one! Since it was our last class I filled out some assessment forms to let you know how your children did. I hope you found them in their mailboxes.

Emily, again, did a lot of work and made it look easy doing Lesson Six and Lesson Seven. With those lessons she got a new composer - Mr. Bach. Mr. Bach taught her about holding notes for two counts, three counts and four counts. Emily caught onto the lesson quick and within the first ten minutes of the class she was already doing practice and probably about fifteen minutes in she was finished so she did another lesson. Emily really looks like she's having fun playing the piano and I hope she continues to play! Good luck in school Emily!

Ava finished up the semester with Lesson Fifteen and did terrific! It was the same lesson as the one she did the previous week but with some more skill level involved. Ava stepped up to the task and did it and I'm very proud of her! Ava did really well with these classes and I hope she continues to play! Great work Ava!

Aliyah did Lesson Ten today and did awesome. It was a review of going higher and higher and lower and lower. Aliyah did terrific on this and I think I marked on her assessment form an N/A for higher and higher and lower and lower but I'd give her a five now! Aliyah really had some fun during these piano lessons and I hope she continues to play! Good luck Aliyah!!

Cameron worked on Lesson Sixteen today which was using the fourth finger (ring finger) to play the F note. Not the easiest finger to press down but Cameron worked at it and was doing it really well. She also got a new composer to teach her - Miss Fanny Mendelssohn, a very interesting woman composer from the 1800s. She was composing before women were accepted as being musically talented. Cameron did so well at piano lessons and I'm very proud of her because she was so shy when she started. She really broke out of her shell and I hope she continues at piano and has a great time in school! Good luck Cammy!

I had a great time teaching your kids over these past few months and I'll miss them all as most of them are going back to school. Good luck to all my kids starting out in school and the ones going back! I'll miss you!
