By reading your numbers I can say that Abigail has excellent eye-hand and both hands coordination. We have to improve her attention span and focus skills since with the very low timing she still has some mistakes.

Let's see, how fast she will be able to memorize the French Song. For our Butterfly Ball in December - January I send as many butterflies as many piano played. I think she can get plenty!

It would be also helpful to see some videos of her playing to be able to see her hands.

Hello, dfredrickson!
The figures show me that Abigail developed very good eye-hand coordination and her attention and focus improved a lot.
I think, she is ready for the next move: more challenging for her coordination piano pieces and more challenges for her sight-reading improvement.
Is there any way to upload 1-2 videos with her hands? I will be able to help you to choose the right piano pieces that will be and beautiful, and very nourishing for her piano technique.

I will try to get a video in the next few days. One question I have about the Soft Mozart software, how do I know when to use the more advanced note representations? So far, we're just beginning and only using the first note representation. Should I be including others?
