After giving Mark that first brief lesson, he went back to the piano almost every single day asking if he could practice. Lily also sat at the piano almost everyday and would teach herself (with mine or Jim's help) a song every day until she mastered it. I decided I wanted to try piano lessons for Mark. I thought he could get better instruction from someone who actually knew a little about the piano and notes and not a mom who sat on the sidelines picking it up from Lily's old class. Lily asked me if she could join in because she really wanted to give it a try and promised she would practice.
The first practice was last night and they both did very well. I'm always impressed by Lily's knowledge and memory. I know she's smart and has an elephant's memory, but she never ceases to amaze me. Lily did very well. The teacher was very impressed with her knowledge especially since it had been years since her last real lesson. It's not so much that Lily has an ear for music, but the music symbols, notes, beats, etc is where she is strong. Mark also did very well. Here are a few pictures from last night's lesson.
