To give more of our talented students and participants the opportunity to shine, we are thrilled to announce that the Butterfly Ball - 2025 recital has been extended until February 1, 2025!
As you suggested Hellene, I tried to have Heidi play Polovetzian dance with teaching video and repost it, but: it happened that Heidi was not very keen of doing this, but she did not say she did not want to... I just noticed that every time I asked her to go and play the piano she would fin excuses and postpone it for later and she did shorter sessions... so when I asked her if she rather pick another piece she was a lot more interested. So we went on to the next piece and this one we did with the teaching video from the start.
It is so that if we do something Heidi must have a plan layed out before and if something must change or go back she does not like it very much and does not change easily...this with all things in general, not just with piano.
Here is our new piece:
Outstanding!
Radetsky much very 'uneven' for beginners' coordination. There are some parts that are very easy and some difficult. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to play the piece with steady beats. Heidi did an excellent job! I see, how she picks staccato, legato and all different phrasing. Keep working on that. It is very important stage now.
