"MISS G CONGRADULATE'S MISS CONNER ON PLAYING HER VERY FIRST SONGS!"


Miss G here with Little House of Music.
Can you tell by the picture how excited eight year old Connor is about playing her first song? She was smiles from ear to eat. Isn't she just precious?
Connor really wanted to take piano lessons really bad. Her first lesson was so much fun. I told her the whole story about the clef's getting married and after returning from their honeymoon they moved into their new home, The Grand Staff! I then proceeded to explain the whole Little House of Music story to her. It's as easy as that!
I don't think the children realize that on lesson number one they are going to be playing songs and reading music. It's so easy after they hear the story!
Connor played three songs by reading the music on her first lesson. You Go Connor!
One thing the children get confused about is that middle C can be dressed as a quarter note, half note, dotted half note and whole note. It's always the same note because it's at the same place on the staff but it's just dressed differently. Just like all of us. We dress differently every day when we come out to play!
Welcome to the Little House of Music family Connor. We are so happy you have joined us. In a year from now you'll know hundreds of songs to play and will be reading the music to everyone of them!
Hugs to Connor, From Miss G at Little House of Music
