Piano Practice

Now that we've got our summer groove going, it's time to get our piano groove back.

I let the girls take some time off from piano practice.

Just about a month.

D still plays regularly.  Usually her own made up songs.

A lot of times she plays by ear songs that she has heard.  From anywhere.

E doesn't play on her own.  She needs to the encouragement to play/practice.

We do a few piano lessons through the summer.

Starting next week.

So, this week we needed to get back into our piano practice routine.

D was good.  No problem.  Playing and reading music does come naturally to her.

E struggled.  There was a little frustration.

But I encouraged her to take her time.

And D is so sweet.  She is happy to help her sissy.

E is happy to have her help.

Every now and then they argue a bit.

But mostly the girls are very sweet together when D is helping E.

Today D really helped E with a particular song she was having trouble with.

And E ended up getting the song and playing it really well.

Still needs some practice, but her frustration with reading the notes is gone.

Good job D.  She was such a sweet sissy today.
