Moving between Musical Moments, Reflective Moments, Way Cool Keyboarding, Way Cool Keyboarding 4 Kids and WillBailyPianoTunes.com

Someone spotted a Way Cool Keyboarding 4 Kids book on the bench next to Linda, on the post immediately below. Thursday night at class, the class asked why we weren't playing Halloween songs. We have studio copies for our kids classes so the kids and parents don't have to remember to bring books back and forth. "Broomhilda" is the last piece in Way Cool Kids book 1. I passed out books and we used it as a warm-up. Smiles on everyone's faces when we finished! We'd played the solo version of The Bell Carol from WillBailyPianoTunes.com last week (the Bell Carol was tune of the week last week) and then, introduced the duet (which is a bit easier). Everyone was excited about trying both parts next week, team playing. Then, to cool down, we played the solo part of "Forbidden City" - one of the FREE tunes from the home page of the site. And then, closed with both parts of "Autumn Breeze" (from Reflective Moments book 2), as can be seen in the video below (sorry about the delay - not sure how to fix that yet). Musical Moments and Reflective Moments, Way Cool Keyboarding, Way Cool Keyboarding 4 Kids and the tunes in WillBailyPianoTunes.com all share the same pedagogy, making it easy and fun to move back and forth between all the materials!
