Jacob and Jasmine’s Progress
While on our 4 month Alaskan Adventure, my children decided to learn a new song on the piano for something to do during “down” times. Well, we have not had many down times, nevertheless, my kids have found time to make progress on their songs. I asked them if they would be willing to let me video them every two weeks from start to finish and post it online. I told them that thousands of online students will be watching and making comments. Much to my surprise, they agreed and were actually excited! They read your comments like it’s candy!
Below is the time line of videos of their progress:

Wow, I am very inspired by your persistence in learning this song, Jacob. Just watching you progress through the song has really gave me confidence to be able to learn also. Thank you for sharing, I am enjoying it.

Jacob,
all I can say (and I’m almost double older than you…) is that hearing and watching the way you play motivates me more in my birthday wish (which is soon 08th of august
- new piano! My husband says that I’m not for that but I keep going on. If something like that can make me happier (as well as my kid) I won’t say goodbye so easy.
So, your progress has encouraged me for going on further…
Keep on!
