It seems every time that she does it faster backwards than going up. Is this a right handed thing or is it just Hannah?

I watched all the videos of Hannah and have to tell you the following:
1. She is having excellent fine motor skills. I don't find anything wrong with the fact, that she has difficulty to make skip. Even older children experiencing the same problem. In fact, she is above average on this for her age.
2. She has excellent 2 coordination of 2 hands for her age.
3. She has tendency to perfect pitch development.
I am very impressed with all of her videos. Please, stick with the Academy and keep in mind: music mastery is a life lasting project. It should be no rush - we have 10 years ahead.
Our mutual goal to make learning fun. I believe Hannah will be very proficient with this approach.

thank you for your answer.
Could you please explain what perfect pitch development means? I am guessing it means that she has a good chance to develop a good musical year. Am I close?
Another topic is that we had some wonderful progress with Hannah as her interest has grown a little toward playing. She now too gets up in the morning and runs to the piano and plays the only thing that she knows by heart: the exercise Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol, Sol-Fa-Mi-Re-Do with the right hand. At first she only played right hand and after the first I told her she should try doing it with both hands.
So she tried, the result was not what I expected, but it was cute and special: with the left hand she plays Do+Sol every time she hits Do and Sol with the right hand. And while she is playing the other notes she keeps her left hand down. This is great, she could not do it before...and she still can't do it while playing any other piano piece...but the practice surely helps.
We also started besides Hot Cross Buns on the French Song, since Hannah wasn't pleased with the fact that her sister uses 5 fingers on the right hand while playing and she only has a song with 3 fingers ))
I have a question regarding the academy site: I there a way users can post comments, progress, questions there or the main activity tracking will still be done on this forum?
Thanks and have a nice weekend!

Yes! 'Perfect pitch' is also means that she will be able to determine the names of music notes by ear without looking at notes or keys. The sounds will automatically be transferred into notes' names.

Please, do not expect anything from her! Just joy every decision to practice! She is still baby and our goal is make her motivation to practice stronger!

Yes! I agree: this is very special. Video it! Such moments are priceless!

Yes, you will be able to communicate with parents of 'your levels' there. But this forum is always functional for our communication and support. Keep posting here!
