We sightread Graduation March together, and I noticed improved sight-reading skills from before, as well as execution of eighth notes. It usually took a longer time for her to get the notes down and learn them, but I taught her to finger the notes first and visualize playing with more planning before attempting them, which helped. If there is a problematic spot, I go through it slowly, sometimes only focusing on one transition to break down the phrase. Through gradual repetition, she learned the right notes. We also worked on extending the 4th finger, since she had trouble reaching. I taught her to bring the hand towards the neck in a more parallel position and to keep the fingers curved. Although it is very strenuous for beginners, who do not have strong enough finger muscle, it is crucial to build the strength by trying very hard to not collapse it.
Music club: working on writing music, drawing the right length of notes, ledger lines, etc.
