Meet my little man : Matthew who till now refused all direct piano lessons from me so his exposure to piano was through his sister Tina practicing and him independently playing with SoftMozart , he is a living proof that piano learning with Soft Mozart is contagious and how softmozart helps develop a child manual and cognitive abilities .
I was a bit concerned about matti's fine manual abilities .
I was even told maybe he has low muscle tone in his hands and in need of proper evaluation ,
since Tina started learning , and i say Tina because he refused any lesson from me , he just watch Tina than he says my turn now.
I complained to Hellene that he was so confused between left and right , he wanted to play both left and right with his left hand , he couldn't use his right hand and was so uncoordinated , i thought it will be impossible to teach him with soft mozart . Hellene encouraged me to just let him play any way he likes , and i did.
well only now he just played happy cowboy in both hands , ok finger play but still for me this means a lot.
and he insisted on me taking a video and send it to Hellene so she can see how he is doing. i didn't want to make it long so i tried to stop him and he refused insisting on playing the whole piece
Matti loves Soft Mozart games , he is playing them all the time , now his favorite is note duration , he plays it better than Tina . The great thing since he started playing piano his writing and drawing improved when before all he did was scribbling :)he is more focus , better concentration and attention span .
Here's Matti choosing to play boogie as his first piano piece
and hot Cross bun :
Bravo Matti xxx
