Lesson Comments
Anna: She did very well with the new song. We have to break her habit of constantly looking at her fingers and trying to memorize the music. Eyes need to be on the music - some glancing at the keys is ok. Rhythm and timing is very good.
Quinn: We need to work on steady rhythm mostly. He understands his chords and strum technique, but tends to rush during the songs. Tone and accuracy is good.
