Piano Lesson

This week we will have Sierra's third piano lesson. She is progressing nicely. Her teacher, Mrs. Audrey is great. She is very patient! I love the books she is using. They were first printed in 1967 and have only been updated twice since then. Once in 1968 and then last year, I think. We have the 1968 version. I think they are a good example of why everything does not need to be super flashy and plugged into a computer to be effective. Sierra learned the first song within a few minutes. We have now moved on to using both hands and four different notes. She does not like to practice, she would rather just bang on the keyboard. She comes through when she has to though. The other book is piano theory. Mrs. Audrey says most piano teachers don't start kids this young on theory but she feels they can handle it. I think she is right. I think it must be helpful to have an understanding of how the piano works and what all the symbols are. I wish I had a better picture of her but I did not want to lug the big camera in and start flashing away while she was supposed to be listening.
