I love teaching the Simply Music® piano method. It is so amazing to see these kids progress so quickly. I taught a group today with students who have been playing for about 5 1/2 months. I am astounded at all they can do.
I start off each lesson group class with checking each student's practice record and listening to a song or two off of their playlist. Today I picked songs from our arrangement program. Several of the songs are accompaniment pieces where the student plays and we all sing along. It just sounded wonderful. I wish all kids could have that kind of musical experience.
It sure is different from what I had when I was a child. I took lessons for years and never did really feel like I could play very well. It seemed to take forever just to get to songs that used both hands. I'm grateful that my kids, and my students, are having a better experience.
