Abby Archer
Past Notes
February 18th, 2026
Abby isn't able to come tonight because of an ill Father-in-law.
February 11th, 2026
This was Abby's second week, since she was sick last week. We reviewed the sharps and flats, which she'd kind of forgotten about.
We played through Mary Had a Little Lamb (she hadn't been working on Happy Birthday), and I tried to get her to memorize more of it so she could play it more "smoothly," and "musically."
We then added Down by the Bay, and made our way through one section at a time, slowly extending the amount of the song she could play.
I asked her to focus on both songs again this week, and try to keep her palm rounded, her posture good, etc.

Abby is sick today so won't be coming tonight.
January 28th, 2026
This was Abby's first week, and we learned the names of the piano keys, and how to play Mary Had a Little Lamb and Happy Birthday.
We also learned about flats, and how to use as many fingers as possible.
Abby doesn't have a way to practise yet, so let me know when she gets a piano, so I can start checking on how that's going each week.
