Bruno Mars and Grandma

Check out "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars on the Tutorial page of WillBailyPianoTunes.com!  In June a grandmother brought her 12 year old granddaughter (Jessica) to her RMM class on Thursday night.  This is an ambitious class playing out of Musical Moments - Reflective 3.  Since Jessica was just sitting watching, I decided to take a chance and teach "Just the Way You Are" with F5 chord in the RH and changing bass notes in the LH (see tutorial).  Already had the mp3 file since we'd been using this in the Way Cool Kids Classes.  What FUN!  Jessica's eyes lit up as she discovered she could do this with no previous piano lessons!  This adult class had a blast with this music, even though it was music from Jessica's generation.  When grandma left, she had tears in her eyes when she said, "Thank You."  I'm the one who is thankful everyday to be an RMM facilitator!  Happy Teaching!
