Hello Mums and Dads!
What a frosty week this has been! It's the perfect excuse for tea and cake in my book
This week we have been working on stretching our fingers. 🤚
Mr 1 - thumb
Mr 2 - forefinger
Mr 3 - middle finger
Mr 4 - ring finger
Mr 5 - pinky finger
We started with a closed hand and woke up one finger at a time by stretching them. Please repeat this exercise with your mini musos on both right and left hands. We had lots of fun doing this! Mr 4 and Mr 5 are hard to wake up, but hey... not to worry, practise makes perfect! 🤚
Have you been singing the Bees and the Blues song? How is it going? If you make a video of your children singing please do share. At Fun-Keys we love to hear from you parents.
If you are curious about Indian classical music, there's a really good concert coming up on the 13th Feb at the Royal Albert Hall. Check it out here: http://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2017/indian-classical-music-for-kids/
I wish you all a wonderful weekend!

It's great to see you focusing on those foundational finger stretches, especially waking up 'Mr 4 and Mr 5.' They can certainly be stubborn! Developing that early dexterity and independence in each finger is so crucial for future technique and prevents a lot of bad habits down the line. It's truly the bedrock of fluid playing. For parents and mini musos looking to integrate these essential exercises into a broader, structured curriculum, finding a consistent learning path can make all the difference. There are fantastic resources available that offer comprehensive online piano lessons designed to build on these early skills.
