Heidi 6th lesson

This was my last lesson with Heidi. We just palyed through some fun pieces and she sight read some things and did very good. She wants to take lessons this summer and since i will be in the omaha aera i think we are going to try and get something going. I really liked giving her lessons. I felt like sometimes I wasn't sure what to do or how to explian things but I'm sure that that'll get easier the more I do it.

Heidi 5th lesson

Todays lesson went well. We reviewd things we worked on last time and went further into dotted rhythems. Now that she knows how to count them she is playing them better. She asked me today if we could continue our lessons into the summer because she really wants to learn how to play piano better so we're gonna see what we can work out.

Heidi 4th lesson

Heidi did very well tonight. I started her in a new book and we worked on a couple songs that went higher and lower than the notes that she knows but she went with it and made it fit in her hand. We worked on fingering as well and she is understanding that you don't have to stay in the "C" position all the time. She is loving learning new things and get exctied when she gets some new concept.

Heidi 3rd lesson

Heidi seems to be doing really well. She is remembering what we went over from previous lessons and is using those things when she's learning new things. We talked about staccattos and she seemed to grasp it very well. I think that when I go home for spring break I'm going to look through some of my old books and see if I can get her into them. I can't wait for my next lesson.

Heidi 2nd lesson

My second lesson went pretty well. We reviewed what we did last week and worked on some things that she had problems with. We continued on in her book and she seems to be reading the music pretty well and she's figuring things out on her own with very little help from me. I gave her some new things to work on to help her technique. She is very excited to play and I can't wait to see how far she can get in the next few weeks.

Heidi 1st Lesson

I had my first lesson with my student Heidi yesterday and I loved it! We went over the basics of how to play the piano and started in on her first couple of songs. I think the hardest thing will be for her is to figure out what each line and space is in on the staff. I had her write it out thinking of FACE for the spaces on the treble cleft and GREAT BIG DREAMS FOR AMERICA for the lines on the bass clef. I am very excited to keep working with her and watch her progress.
