Is there other site that i can learn as well? I hope I am not missing out such a good resource.....

Yes, these plans are the best! You are in the right place.

Good day to you and hope you are well.
Thank you for your feedback on my practice. I do play some of the games to keep me alert and remember the keys. However, I do not play often as I either have time to practice or games. It can take up lots of time if I do play all the games.

Wow! You have so much improvement in each school!
However, you play too long for sure. It has to be 5-10 minutes of your time. The modules are based on the algorithm that feels your every touch and changes the way you play. So, it supposed to be like with meals: short time - many sessions. The modules train you to read music fluently. They thorowly check your reaction and slow down, if you need improvements in certain areas.

I have enclosed my score for your viewing.

Thank you very much. You are very organized! This is why you have such rapid success,

I will check on the last 2 pics on the rhythm with presentation 5. As for the Hanon 2, I took it from lesson 17. I tried on etudes at times. but some of them is far low keys which I cannot practice as my keyboard is only 61 keys not 88 keys.

Well. you are doing good.
Please, make your vid on Mountain king.
Are you working on any other pieces now? Do you need any suggestion?
Our recital is going to be from December 15th to January 15th
The goal of the recital is quantity (we are fighting perfectionism)
The "quality" recital is in May.
Keep doing such a wonderful job!

Hello, Melissa!
Sorry for being a little late with my reply. We are having the busiest time of the year: ending the previous school year and starting 2023-2024.

Here's the mountain king, not perfect but please see enclosure as well as the Largo.

Excellent results.
Did you try to play it with the TEACHING VIDEO (with metronome and without)?

(1st)

(2nd)

The fingering of the first part is fixed. I was not able to see another one, because the camera hadn't been capturing the higher register. Please, send me your current version. I am sure it is improved completely by now.

As for the recital, i think i can try to do it since it is not seeking for full accuracy. But i will try to make it the best pcs before I upload.
I need to register or I just need to do the following uploading any of the pieces in the lesson plans i am working on from the period of Dec 15 to Jan 15 to the respective folder? Let me know.

Yes, we will create new category and let you know!

At the present moment, I do not have any specific pc of music that I am working on. Just going through the lesson plans as it is. I saw one of the youtube videos that one lady played the Beethoven Fur Elise so beautifully, I would like to play and learn that as well. Do you think i can start playing that or is it too early as it seems difficult.

Absolutely!
Start from easier version from Fav. Classic 2 (in fact, Mountain King is much harder to learn!)
I think, at the end of the year you will be able to learn the original version.

Thanks
