Piano

During piano practice today (their next recital is in June) Sweet Daughter actually focused and tried. She's really good for a 3 year old. As in, better than most 5 year olds with the same amount of instruction. Her only problem is she usually doesn't want to try because she's not as good as Sweet Son and she believes everything is a competition.

Sweet Son playing a song that teaches a descending scale.

Sweet Son also focused and tried during piano practice, but that's not unusual. What is unusual is that today he decided one of the songs is too easy (it's in 3/4 with syncopation, but only uses the right hand) so he picked out what he thinks makes good "left handy stuff." When playing Do, Mi, or Sol on the right hand he plays Do and Sol together on the left. When playing Re or Fa on the right hand he plays Re and Fa together on the left. I am impressed. Yes, it's simple music theory, but he's 3 and hasn't exactly been taught a lot of theory.
