About 1.5 years ago, my daughter (she was then 2 years and 9 months old) started playing the piano with the help of Soft Mozart. I also opened a thread then, but now I think it's maybe better to start a new one, because I have other questions... and yes, more than one and a half years have passed by since.

Of cause! We also now have an Academy, where you will be able to find answers to all of your questions!

She was playing regularely, but unfortunately not on a daily basis.

Let's think another way around. You 2-year-old child (!!!) played piano regularly! Wow! This is wonderful. Daily basis may be unfortunate for students of music universities. Here we have obvious accomplishment.

She played 2-3 times a week, minimum once, sometimes also 4-5 times. But I don't know exactly why, she doesn't seem to made so much progress in this time. Well, she can play the introductory songs now very well, also with two hands.

Your expectations for her is very high. 2-3 year old children develop fine motor skills and both hands' coordination. On the top of that they are building ear for music, eye/hand coordination, voice, music memory. The ultimate goal for children of this age is not an artistic piano performance, but rather development of their minds, brain and especially corpus callosum. If your daughter being in such young age capable of playing Introductory songs using 2 hands, it means, she is on the right path to her successful academic and music future. I am very proud of your achievement and encourage you to follow our Academy curriculum to have more subjects to make her education well rounded (music appreciation, theory, ear training etc)

We played the nursery songs a bit, now she plays the Lulluby from Classics 1 album.

Favorite Classics 1? We don't have Lullaby there. We have it in Favorite Classics 2. It is very advanced piece for her age!

She choose this song by herself, but doesn't like to play it with both hands. I think, it is too hard for her.

If she plays it using separate hands, it is just great! But we need to find her easier piece. Wish to see her video to be able to advice you on that.

We unfortunately didn't do exercices, like Hanon or so, she just doesn't like it. Nor did she play many games, same here, doesn't like them

Well, currently we are creating motivational puppet shows for situations like this. Stay tuned!

What do you suggest for us? How should we move on from here?

I need to see your video to build your repertoire for this semester. Next step - register in our Soft Mozart Academy academy.softmozart.com/

When we sit on the piano, she plays first the actual song (now Lulluby) with right hand twice, then left hand twice, then I tell her to try both hands. In a second step, we play some song from Introductory album with both hands. That is no problem.

I feel, something is missing... please help us Helene, so that she can make good progress.

Yes, you need more structure and guidance from professionals. Let's work together on building the education for your child.

Hi, bk!
All what you have to do is to upload your video to You Tube and after that copy/past address from the You Tube browser.
