Get out your scissors! YES, I really want you to ACTUALLY CUT your music book. On the last page, you'll need to cut out all the alphabet letters and keep them in a small container or ziploc. Each day, play the alphabet game (put letters on piano keys) by looking at the diagram in the book. Encourage your child to find “E” by thinking “find a group of two and go up” NOT by finding C and counting over to E. Brush the papers forward onto a flat music book to catch them and clean them up.
Everyone did a nice job bubble popping today! I was pleased to see how quickly the cross-over we worked on for the left hand transferred to the right hand. As your child gets better at this, look for rounded fingers, fingers touching keys (not flying away), one note being played at a time, and finally…eyes up! Of course, those are end goals…not immediate results.
By now your child knows how to identify treble clef, bass clef, rests, Low C, Middle C, and (today) High C. As you’re sitting with him, ask “what’s this called?” or “can you find the Middle C’s?”
Keep up the good work! I sure am amazed by your kids. They are AWESOME!!!
