Krista's Protegé

Although I think Kate is too young for formal piano lessons, she's been asking me to teach her so I gave her a couple informal little lessons. So far she has learned her finger numbers and how to play one finger at a time on the keys (a BIG challenge for tiny hands!), as well as quarter notes, half notes, and bar lines. I was surprised at how much of all that she actually retained. She even sits down to "practice" on her own every day now. Here she is performing: (she only played the second line of the song - but at least she played it correctly!)


I'm so thrilled to have a little girl who shares the same interests as me! That's how I got my start on the piano too - watching my mommy play and teach lessons!

Yay how exciting! Teach her quick and then we might have more than two people who can play the piano in primary...
