Rilley is a five-year-old piano student in her first semester of piano lessons. We are using the Piano Safari Book 1 and are working on both rote and reading pieces (mostly with intervals of 2nds and 3rd). We used the Flashnote Derby app in order to introduce new notes as well as to reinforce notes she has already learned. In this clip, I introduced middle C in the treble clef, as well as D and E. I also reinforced the bass C, D, and E. I shared the iPad screen to Skype, using the Reflector Teacher App.
