Let's Play Music Graduation!

Congratulations to Jonah! He stuck it out and finished Let's Play Music! Extra activities have been a real challenge for Jonah this year, and because of the stress of it all, Jonah almost didn't finish the program. I'm so glad that his teacher, Jodi, was caring enough to work with him and adapt things so he could still finish. My biggest concern was that he might have started to hate piano and music because of stress. He just requires a lot of free time since his school is so structured. He has learned a lot in LPM this year, including transposing, the key of F, the key of G, and composing his own music.

His classmates all sang a song about finding the root of the chord.

Here he is showing off his knowledge of three chords.

 Here he is playing his very own composition, A Friend, A Bully. 

 

Jonah was so funny. I could barely get him to practice in the days coming up to his recital. He was fine and not nervous at all though! I thought it was so funny how calm he was about it. He certainly showed me! When he was done, he ran up to me and excitedly said, "Mom, I only messed up twice!" He's definitely a different child than I was! I'm happy that he's proud of himself.





Congratulations, Jonah, on graduating from Let's Play Music and for all of your hard work over the last 3 years! You've come a long way, and you are one talented kid!
