Titus, 3yo and Juli, adult Progress Diary

Hellene,
Yay, yay! Thank you. Wow, I didn't even think of that, but I have been doing it (to read the directions). I just didn't make the connection that duh, it pauses it. Yay!!!! So glad that I asked.

Also, in answer to your previous question, we do use all the games with only the solfege symbols for now, not the letters yet.

Thank you for the advice Hellene. That is what I have been doing, for most games, I aim for 10 min of module time, except for the guess key one, where I aim for 5 min. I guess that's a good question, when you say the "same amount of time", do you mean actual play time or module time (the time on the little clock), because I noticed that those two can be very different, especially in the guess key game. I think I was playing yesterday for at least a half hour and only got to 5 min on it.

Also, I have been so excited about this program that I have been telling all my friends about it and I have one or two interested possibly in trying it, so is there some kind of referral program?

Another question I had when playing on the Gentle Piano game. I noticed that with Hot Cross Buns, I have been playing it so much, that i am starting to memorize it, especially if I play a couple times in a row. Should I be trying not to memorize it, but rather to actively "read" the notes each time, or is it ok that I am starting to remember it. I have tried it now on several presentations. I have also started the French Song and that one too I notice I start to memorize after playing through a few times. Where is the line that I should move on to another song to actively try to be reading instead of just playing cause I remember it? Or should I stop for the day at that point and come back to the same song another day?

Here is my latest score with French Song, both hands:





Thank you for all your help!

I am sorry about all the colors in my SM icons for Little Musician. I am almost finished with a new Icon set that looks good in Little Musician. As soon as it is finished I will post it with a tutorial on how to replace the cutesy icons in LM with the SM note heads. This saved us much frustration and confusion.

Please finish reading Hellene's book. It will make your life easier ....... It has certainly simplified mine...... progress is much quicker especially for Cayla -my little one with Down Syndrome.

I am really looking forward to a new icon set and a tutorial on how to replace the icons.
