Kei’s First Musical Piece
Kei is so fond of music that it didn’t surprise me when she was able to play the ABC on her toy piano after a few minutes of teaching. She quickly learned the concept of music which I taught her. By the way, I am also a music lover. I sing and play the piano - mostly in church. It is among my desires to teach my daughters, Kei & Vhi, whatever music stuff I have acquired.
Back to Kei’s achievement. She has this little toy piano that runs on two AA batteries. Only the white keys have sounds. The black keys are just for display. Each white key has a number which made it easy for me to teach Kei how to play the ABC. 1 for Do, 2 for Re, and so on. We simply went:
1-1-5-5-6-6-5
4-4-3-3-2-2-1
5-5-4-4-3-3-2
5-5-4-4-3-3-2
1-1-5-5-6-6-5
4-4-3-3-2-2-1
I wrote the numbers above on paper. Kei was able to memorize it after a few tries. Now, the entire house is filled with the ABC Song. I’m sure we’ll get annoyed soon. When that time comes, then I know that I must teach her a new song.
P.S.
The beauty of teaching her the ABC Song is that she learns to play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star & Bah, Bah Black Sheep at the same time.
