Danielle,
I see very good and steady progress: Cooper developed outstanding for his age attention span, eye-hand and both hands coordination and fine motor skills.
Yes, we have to move on in 2 different direction.

1. Sight-reading. I think, he is ready to start music notes on level 2, 4, 5 and 6. For that take the Nursery Primer and Fav. Classics Primer and ask him to sight-read R, L and P. Don't play anything more then twice (we don't want him to pretend reading). Compare the numbers. Play the entire Album this way to gain quantity of materials that had been read.
If he is going to have difficulties playing on 2 without pictures, play prep game by pressing a key and ask him to say, what line or space is it,

2. Polishing the learned pieces.
Ask Cooper to play RH,LH and PH of the pieces that he learned. When he memorized them, use my TEACHING VIDEOS and ask him to play synchronically with my playing www.softmozart.com/forum/55-teaching-vid...roductory-songs.html
You may start with one hand at a time

3. New pieces
Please, check the following
Fav Classic 1 - Musette
Nursery 1 Hickory Dickory Dock, Little Dog Gone, This Old Man
Boogie - Rock group and Robot Rock

Are you following our Lesson Plans? His level is Prep C www.softmozart.com/forum/63-lesson-plans...year-old-and-up.html

Back to the Mozart
