How was your experience teaching your baby to play the Right hand of the 'Hot Cross Buns'?
If he/she was mostly focused on spiders and Mr. Oops, it is perfectly OK. Do you remember that kids just have to have this stage of exploring?
There are no inattentive children. There are students, however, whose attention has not yet reached the stage of solving certain super structural problems. It is our goal to determine the child’s level of attention and develop an action plan for its further progress.
As a rule, the strengths of any healthy baby are his taste, tactile and auditory perception as well as spatial orientation ability. Visual perception and speech (onomatopoeic) memory are among the first senses developed in your baby.
We have to narrow visual stimulation as much as we can and help the child to find music note on the screen, to find the corresponding key and to press it with one finger.
Piano exercise: «White Cat - Black Cat»:
Here is the picture how to play the exercise with Right hand:
The picture to play the exercise with your Left hand:
The thumb is a white cat, the middle finger is a black cat.
Press the white keys with your thumb and the black keys with your middle finger.
And let your fingers move on all these keys!
The main thing is to see in time when to press the mouse!
The mouse needs your attention. If you put your mouse finger on the cat key, then you have lost.
