You are not free to interpret what Bow means, or doesn't mean, based on your own feelings!"Prickly peart"https://www.blogger.com/profile/10596079998110970171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-54078744826781235672011-01-02T07:29:21.495-08:002011-01-02T07:29:21.495-08:00Thanks, Suzanne!

He makes intentional and informed choices.<br /><br />While I agree that not everybody needs a teacher to learn how to play music, I have a feeling that both my kids are the kind who definitely would benefit from having a teacher. You can learn by watching videos, but there's nothing like a real person to correct your mistakes.<br /><br />I sent a copy of the video to Sword's music teacher! I wonder what she will say about it.Aya Katzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830585801297506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-85654679168470035792011-01-02T07:20:24.922-08:002011-01-02T07:20:24.922-08:00Wow!

He seems to be choosing sounds once he identifies which keys make which sounds, and he knows how he is supposed to hold his hands. He is not pounding on the keys with his fist or the backs of his hands, rather ,he is using his fingertips. Good start! :)JustMeSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782502007551152677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2974406546323301344.post-54392854967891363732011-01-02T07:17:12.800-08:002011-01-02T07:17:12.800-08:00Very good!

Maybe he could use some of them...JustMeSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05782502007551152677noreply@blogger.com
