Continuing to learn from the Teaching Little Fingers to Play book;
Lesson Outline
Zeta played "She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain" without any difficulty. I asked her to play it slowly and she was able to figure out logically new ways of reading the music. It is meant as a duet, two people, four hands. We played it ever so slowly. Usually students get distracted the first time they play with a duet partner. Not Zeta. She did very well. I mentioned that it would be fun if we learned it very well, tempo wise, and let some of the students sing along with her playing it. Another reason to learn to play the piano, social bonding. We also learned the next few songs and each challenge was met very well. We are now going to memorize "My Bonnie" at our next lesson.

Lesson Comments
Zeta focused so well, that she was able to ascertain what she had do to when the notes were placed differently than before. She used logic had no difficultly when it came to "Comin' Around the Mountain". It is a duet piece. She was not too distracted when I played along with her like most students the first time they play a duet. Mentioned that we should play it well enough to include a few of the students in a sing-along. There are two boys in particular that I think would enjoy the activity. The next couple of songs were done with well. When it came to "My Bonnie" she had a little bit of a problem. The songs become more challenging, however, Zeta continues to play them until she masters them. Next lesson we will memorize it. She is almost finished with the book and look forward to teaching her what I call "The Chart". It is about learning all the major scales and their chords. This will acquaint her with every eventuality that she will meet in the future. Her brain will understand it. She will only have to teach her fingers.
