So far my girls just get them by ear but some day I expect they'll be interested in understanding why they sound the way they do. I'll tuck that idea away.moominmammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561834420653149624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-77865402988421606182008-07-03T17:11:00.000-07:002008-07-03T17:11:00.000-07:00When I read the title of this post I saw "Evolutio...When I read the title of this post I saw "Evolution of a Twinkie" and I thought 'Miranda is posting about twinkies? I can't imagine that at all!' Of course it's Twinkle...Go Fiona! <BR/>As a side note, though you didn't ask-I've taught piano for 22+ years and one of the ways I've taught kids about chords is:<BR/>A major chord is made up of 3-2. Start on any key, play, skip 3 notes-counting black and white in order, play, skip 2 notes, play. You have a major chord. A minor chord is 2-3. It really opens up the world of chords to them without having to understand the circle of 5ths.Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737108184988557534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314881.post-65748452947215777552008-07-01T19:18:00.000-07:002008-07-01T19:18:00.000-07:00Fiona's talent amazes me.

I hope to teach her soon but I feel like she will not be ready for a few years still. Maybe though...Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459414445021468183noreply@blogger.com
