Our philosophy is to start the beginners in their comfort zone and gradually lead them to chellenges. Let ET use ABC system. Eventually she will be bi-lingual. Just place piano stickers with icon ON the keys and key guides with letters BEHIND the keys.

Please, look at this video and see, how it works for this child:

He had already learned some music reading before we discovered Soft Mozart and completed

Wonderful! Start Albums of 0-1 level for reading on 6th and 5th presentation. Ask to read ALL songs (so, he won't able to memorize anything). Let me go (or make a video) of how it goes. We have to rely on personal experience of the child.

Guess key in about 9 minutes on the second day using the letters. Is it worth trying to make him move back to solfeggio for the ear training?

Yes ! Ask him to make the same amount of points in 9 minutes on Do Re Mi.
You also may ask to play for at least 1 min with screen off by ear.

I would like to see your children's hands. Can you upload any video?

We will choose the repertoire for them for the recital in May-June.
