This is the first song that Daven can play. He prefers to play Hot Cross Bun without the computer.
Now he is practising Ode to Joy.

Welcome!
If Daven can play the song with no computer, it will be great if he would practice it alone with TEACHING VIDEOS: softmozart.com/forum/55-teaching-videos/...roductory-songs.html
Let him practice first with the video with metronome and after that without.

Place, please, some video (at least o his hands) playing the piece

Thank you very much for sharing your video! Here is what I see: you have a very smart boy. He has excellent both hands coordination, because he managed to hold the shell chord in his left hand while he was changing the notes with his right.

He has good fingers' awareness, because he managed to play the piece with correct fingers.

He also has an excellent music memory, because he learned the piece by heart.

We have to start working on making all of his fingers (especially the ring finger and pinkie) stronger. Are you following the curriculum? Did you start your piano exercises?

Thank you for the feedback. My son shows more interest too learn now even it is a big tricky cause the baby always wants to disturb him :)

Yes we are trying to follow the curriculum. He is working on the stretches exercise.

Here is his progress:

Ode to joy
R 30/30. 13
R 27/30 13
L 18/18. 5
L 18/18. 4
P 44/48 31
P 42/48 29
P 44/48 22

He can memorize Ode to Joy song (right hand only)

He is also working on French song and Mulberry Bush.
Is it ok too practise on a few songs together or should master one song at a time?

Do we need to hide the notes on every song after he can follow the alphabet notes?
Do we need to be able to play the song by reading the music sheet before learning new song?

Thank you

Daven playing French song




Daven plays better without the computer when he knows the notes, but sometimes he misses some notes and not playing with the correct tempo.
