Continuing the Teaching Little Fingers to Play book; scales and chords
Lesson Outline
Zeta began to play "Chimes" again. We are attempting to create a "repertoire" of music so that she will be able to play without a book should she be asked to play the piano at any given time. We continued memorizing "Air" by Haydn. Since we only had 30 minutes the time went quickly. We continued learning whatever the new easy piece was. We recalled what a "sharp" was and its effect on a note/key. When we were about to play a new piece of music that had one sharp in the key signature area we explained it by playing the scale that pertained to that key signature. I showed Zeta how the "Circle of Fifths" worked without using that term. I played each scale in order and showed her the pattern that would make each scale, its triad and eventually its key signature easy to learn and understand. What makes it so much fun to teach Zeta is that she is a student who pays attention, focuses very well and enjoys achieving. She could take an hour a day and not tire out.

Lesson Comments
Zeta could take an hour lesson each day without tiring out. She focuses beautifully and we cover a good amount of territory in learning how to play songs and learning music theory - scales and chords at this time.
