We began with our traditional playing of Gracyn's favorite, "The Knuckle Song", both duet and solo. We then moved on to "Mary Had a Little Lamb", adding more of the piece. Next we transposed the song onto the white keys. We then played through "Rain, Rain, Go Away" in a method book. This piece introduced Gracyn to early musical notation and note values. We discussed half notes, which Gracyn counted and held for two beats while playing the piece. Today we also reviewed proper hand position ("bubbles"), fingers curved while playing on fingertips. I look forward to working in Gracyn's "Piano Adventures" method books, as soon as she is able to bring them to class.
