Today had the kind of classes that every teacher dreams of. One student was already playing the keyboard when I arrived, and is showing a clear knack for the piano. His energy can be a bit restless, so the class featured a bunch of breaks to jump around or freestyle on the keys, but when it came time to learning note and finger positions, he was picking things up as quickly as I've ever seen for a student his age. Our other student is just as talented, picking up strumming rhythms like second nature. We learned some new chords today, and when we were practicing switching between them, he remarked that it was hard, and I asked if he wanted to take a break with a different exercise, but he said that he wanted to stick with it, and sure enough he was changing between clean and bright sounding chords in no time.
