Lesson 3 and 4

WOW! They are learning so much! Can you believe they are learning to play red chords! They are so excited about learning to play Old Paint. Yesterday, was harmony at its best and why I love teaching lets play music. Both classes sang their hearts out to Horsey, Horsey, while I sang the countermelody. They did soooo good, that I pulled the mom's that were early from their vehicles to come and watch! Those mom's who witnessed such wonderful harmony please tell us how exciting it was to see them in action!
As far as the red chord, make sure to help your child lift their fingers 2 and 4 while they play 1, 3 and 5. Also, if they just are having a hard time doing all at the same time, have them say and play 1, 3, 5 separately. This will tell the brain 1, 3 and 5 and eventually they will be able to press all three fingers down at the same time. I tried this with my own daughter who was having a pretty hard time doing them all together, we tried separately and the fingers started to connect with what the mind was learning after about 4-5 times. They are all doing great! Keep up the good work and practicing!
