Well at my second piano lesson on last saturday I got assigned the sections of the Alfred book where you have a hole page and fill in the blanks to say what letter and finger they are. My teacher instructed me to play those pages a few days in a row before filling it in. I'm all proud I can read them without having it tell me what they are!! WAHOO!! lol I can like, sorta read music and stuff! hah.

Congratulations, pixie purls! It's the same sort of satisfaction as being able to carry on a conversation in a foreign language. \:\)

Pixie,

Good job you are on your way. I've only been taking lessons for about five months and remember when I was at that same stage as yourself. It seems so long ago yet it wasn't.
