At the age of five, Minkai and Minda start to learn piano. At the very beginning, their little hand can hardly make sounds on the piano, well the black keys.
Now I keep thinking a comment from a friend, "No matter how good or how bad the kids are doing, I keep on encouraging them!" That's exactly what I am doing. Even a song with a few notes wrong, I will say, "that's pretty good!", "that's better!"...
Here are their totally different styles:
Once Minkai knows how to play a piece, he will continue practicing the piece for five times (my requirement) non-stop, no changing on speed, no following the accompanied music. He will just try to finish his practice time...
Minda will wander from a few pages before the practice song to look at the sticker that they got to pages back of new songs so that she could randomly hit keys. Once I start to count 'One, two, three, go!' she usually will start to play the piece. She will follow my instruction for the practicing though...
