A few days off school when Heidi was sick worked miracles for her. She also learned the notes on a blockflote/recorder by herself from this little book:

And then she got her sister to play an exercise on the piano together. Wonderful teamwork:

I watched all of the videos in this post and noticed a very good improvement in hands and posture of Heidi. She is sitting correctly, her chair is high enough and her hands are - dream of any piano teacher Way to go, Heidi!
I would recommend to practice your first piano piece with the TEACHING VIDEOS. Can you find them? With metronome and without she will learn how to play more artistically, smooth and with right phrasing and articulation.
The pieces from Solfeggio and chords in different keys sound awesome. Don't hesitate to play it with Gentle piano in different keys first. Let her develop Major scales feelings to be more confident with sharps and flats.
Way to go, Heidi!adeline.hritcu wrote: This is what Heidi has been up to in the past month. She really has a very full month and she learned a lot. She knows all the pieces from memory, even if at least some are recorded with the software running....she keeps it running now for every time she plays a song because she is aiming to get the time as close to 0 as possible. She never really got 0, but she got 1 for a few songs and always <= 4.

I had a problem with the software and I asked for help. They were prompt in solving the problem and professional and most important of all human and caring.
SM is much more than just a great piece of software.
Thank you!

Adeline, Heidi is ready for the next step: playing piano artistically.
Please, let her know that I like her sight-reading very much. She should stop worrying about the timing. Only machine can make 0 seconds. Our goal now is to add more flavor to the sounds production. Therefore, it would be great to find the TEACHING VIDEOS and select your new pieces based on this library (to be able to master the pieces with them).
She will enjoy it very much, because now it is very good time for this step!

with a very good score:
And finishing game time:
Heidi also does other games of her choice of game and time of play. She also reads easy, L0.x and L1 songs on R6, L6 and P6.

Hi Hellene,
I like very much what you said.
I too noticed that Heidi is more confident and her fingers move easier on the keyboard, but this coming from you makes me certain of her progress.
And you are also right about the artistic play too. She tries to play correct the notes as in duration but when we watch a video of someone really feeling the music and moving to it she might ask: "Why is that person moving like that") ..."Well, ...that is the way he feels the music he is playing" I answer
But as with all the progress until now, practice makes perfect. So we will give it some more time and I am sure it will come. I will do the polovetzian dance with the teaching video and repost it.
Thank you for watching carefully our videos as I highly appreciate your feedback and I very much trust it, a lot more than I trust my own opinion in music
