so excited after feeling dumb for months

ok here our story . i had soft mozart for months and i always found excuses for not using it , and of course when i did want to use it , ah , computer crashed, but well computer got fixed and still i didn't start my lessons . i don't know why i was scared confused , till i got on this board and read all your updates , and boy oh boy , i was so jealous and angry from myself . and for a week now i have been playing around with the software . my darling five years old Tina was my first student , her three years old brother is not really taking it seriously yet , but his sister's success made him wants to learn also and get a bit more serious .
she got the flashcards in one session up and down , didn't stop playing the five finger exercises , love to watch her fingers hitting the keys .
played few times the guess key and the fruit line , and surprised us all by shouting the note name from far without seeing the screen when her brother was playing the guess game himself.

and today we introduced hot cross bun right hand , and by the end of the day she scored15 of 15 and 6 on the right of the screen.
she didn't want to go to bed , all she wanted to do is play piano .

i think this is a good start , i hope she will maintain her enthusiasm and continue this way .
now that i won her in , i will focus a bit more on her brother . i taught her how to start a game , exit , how to record her score , and she is so proud that she can do it all independently.
she is already dreaming to put up a show for her grandma and uncle
i never thought learning to play could be so easy , but thanks to softmozart it is possible now .


thank you all , i couldn't have done it without this board .
love

What a great story - thanks so much for your post it is very inspiring!

Really glad that the forums is helping you - I am finding it amazing for giving support and keeping me motivated!

Well done all of you - look forward to hearing more about how you are getting along

It's a very good start. My DD is also 5 years old, and she really likes the software. her favorite part is playing the songs, of course. I can advice you only one thing, make it fun for your kids, and even if they want to do something different that is not in the curriculum, let them try. I let my daughter to choose what songs she wants to play, after she learnt all beginner songs ( it would be very quickly, believe me). So she is playing Old McDonald now. She is happy when she can play piano to other members of our family. It is the most fun, especially when they praise her.
