January update, New Completion Certificates, Piano savings, Piano pedal

    I continue with 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' from Unit 3 - Lesson 3.  It's  a fun challenge. I am walking through the song step by step not worrying about timing right now.

   I start every practice session with the C, G, and F scale as well as a Right Hand Hannon ascension.

   I am still getting better at 'Good Morning' and doing better yet on 'Ode to Joy'.  The point is, I am still learning songs.

   I have also been playing the melody Christian Dedication fairly well.  I really want to add some simple chords to the song.  I have a foal of learning at least 4 of the Kingdom melodies before I buy any more piano accessories.  I can tell the synthesizer sounds rather off sometimes and I am saving up but I am really learning on the keyboard I have just fine.  I played for Kathy(Wife) and she tripped me $5 for the cause.

   I did purchase a pedal for the piano from ebay.  I am not using the left yet, but I have been trying to add the right sustain pedal into my practice.

    Lisa my Teacher created new Certificates of Completion that will be awarded upon completing each Unit.  I am currently working on Year 1 - Unit 3
