Hi, Danielle!
Did you try to play the piece for Cooper or ask him to play at least couple of the keys?
Wonderful! VERY IMPORTANT: to learn how to say/place the cards in descending order.
Excellent! Wish to see the video.

Wow! You are getting there!
Yes! We have digital version of the song: pianolearningsoftware.com/collections/di...-song-chant-download
There are some limits in pictures’ sizes. Did you ever try to use some clouds like photobucket.com? They have option to resize the photos and even provide with the code to copy/past it to our forum.

Hope you've had a great week. We are still waiting for bubs to come, hopefully early this week
Week: 16th March - 22nd March 2014
1. Music appreciation: We listen to Surprise Symphony’ by Joseph Haydn to start of each lesson
Did you try to play the piece for Cooper or ask him to play at least couple of the keys?
2. Theory: Listen to ‘Music Alphabet Song Chant 01 Track 1’ (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do). We also started with Re to Re with the cards and singing along on the keyboard.
Wonderful! VERY IMPORTANT: to learn how to say/place the cards in descending order.
3. 5 Finger exercises: Right hand and Left hand separately. He is getting much better.
Excellent! Wish to see the video.
Way to go!4. Guess Key: 3 minutes – right hand. We reduced the time from last week, which he is much more comfortable with.
I see a steady progress! Please, ask him to say the notes’ names.Monday - 47
Wednesday - 63
Friday – 77
Oh, now I see: you do practice the Surprise Symphony! Very good! If Cooper is having problems with coordinating 2 fingers of 1 hand, here we have a trick for him:5. Piano Performance: I played Surprise Symphony. Then Cooper plays Hot Cross Buns – Screen 1 – right hand, twice, and we introduced left hand on Friday, because Dad is practicing with the left hand and Cooper wanted to try.

Monday - 15/15, 16 and 14/15, 16
Wednesday - 15/15, 44 and 12/15, 37
Friday - (right) 11/15, 42 and 12/15, 28 (left) 19/22, 118
Wow! You are getting there!
My questions for this week:
- Can you buy the musical alphabet MP3's without purchasing the physical CD? When I went to order it, the postage is more than the CD, is there anyway to get around this?
Yes! We have digital version of the song: pianolearningsoftware.com/collections/di...-song-chant-download
- How do you insert a photo. I'm having trouble uploading anything into this blog.

Sorry for being late with my response! I am trying my best to keep up with the work load.I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Best Regards,

Hi Hellene,
Sorry it has been such a long time for me to write to you. We have been doing music lessons sporadically, and hopefully we have finally found our grove. We had another little boy on the 28th of March, Lewis. He is wonderful, but the sleep deprivation is a killer.
So like I said we have been doing music lessons in bits and pieces but last week we had a good run so I will aim to post every week again.
Week: 27th April - 3rd May 2014
1. Music appreciation: We listen to Surprise Symphony’ by Joseph Haydn to start of each lesson. I will be introducing a new song hopefully tomorrow, we've been listening to Surprise Symphony for two months now.
2. Theory: Listen to ‘Music Alphabet Song Chant 01 Track 1’ (Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do), and play games. Missing note, tell me the symbol etc. He is really good at it.
3. 5 Finger exercises: Right and Left hand separately, and we have just started with both hands together. This has been tricky for him but we will just keep practicing.
4. Guess Key: 3 minutes – right hand.
5. Piano Performance: I played Surprise Symphony. Then Cooper plays Hot Cross Buns – Screen 1 – right hand, twice, and left hand once.

My questions for this week:
- When I click on the link above to purchase the digital version of the musical alphabet it charges me for shipping ($26), is there anyway to get around this or do I need to pay for shipping even though it is a digital file?
I hope you've been well, I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Best Regards,
Danielle
Ps: I am working on getting the video's put up, hopefully I'll have this figured out by next week. And I'm sorry I've been spelling your name wrong.

Congratulations!
It is very effective, if you would also play the theme from the symphony.
Great!
Please, do! It is very important for the Corpus Callosum development
