Christopher missed two lessons and forgot what he had learned. On the other hand he seemed to be more focused so as to catch up to where he was before. We learned that the three chords he had to play had similar notes and that the thumb was playing the three notes in chromatic form -- one key or semi-tone up from the last then returning the same way. When Christopher saw the simple repetition we were able to add the right hand. The right hand was the same note only it was rhythmic. Since he knows the rhythm it became very easy. We then approached the Teaching Little Fingers to Play book. He played "Good King Wenceslas" again. He had already received a check for playing it correctly, however, it probably was to help him get oriented to reading music again. We then did "Lazy Mary". He accomplished this piece in record time. The next one was "Air" by Josef Hayden. Hayden was a rascal and Christopher seemed to enjoy the fact that he had been thrown out of his parents' home when he had pulled too many pranks. I told him that Haydn eventually learned how to use his sense of humor in a socially acceptable manner. I promised to tell him more stories of how Haydn was able to get his point across using his sense of humor. There are many stories about him and I'm hoping that Christopher understands that it is good to be unique.
