I have a question: why do you play stretches in 2 octaves?

You learned all the Introductory pieces and play them with no stickers or guides! Great job!

I can't wait, when you'll get the software. I think, you are ready for challenges!

Playing stretches in 2 octaves... I thought it was the way to do it. I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be so. And I am practising the small fir tree, while eagerly waiting for the software...

first news: :woohoo:
second news: :ohmy: keep in touch by email every problem has a solution - you have one - borrow an external CD-Rom unit from a friend or buy one or go to a friend to install it. You need just to install the software first time. Then you will need only the dongle to use the program once it's installed.

Just played my first guess key game for 5 mins. Got 181 marks. One quick question: am I supposed to listen to the sound only without looking at the screen, when playing this game?

No. First look at the screen and try not to look at piano keys
You cover the screen only after you master it.
