thank you for the advice. We practiced the hannon and cat-mouse exercise: The hannon exercise with left hand, right hand and both hands, the cat mous exercise with one hand at a time only.
And also we started on the 3 sisters exercise.

As the new curriculum recommends we listen I play and Heidi also plays the surprise symphony with both hands. time is not impressing but the progress is wonderful.

In songs, we practiced a lot of sight reading. I see that Heidi is in a phase where she does not like to stay very long on a piece. She rather goes through all the album of Nursery Rhymes every day we have practice playing every song once or twice than choosing one song and practicing on that 10 times.

For the joy of her liking it I just let her, but only after she plays 3 times the surprise symphony and the Muldbery Bush.
Do you have any thoughts on this?

I did a pretty lousy job in writing her times down the past 2 weeks. My bad

We also joined a childrens choir with both hannah and heidi. Beside singing they also learn about musical instruments and classic music pieces and classic musicians...hoping the have more music elements in our daily life.

Have a nice weekend!
