Twinkles and Shoes

My little student H. proudly announced to me today that she has learned how to tie her shoes.

Sometimes I forget that students like H. are so young.

It seems remarkable to me that H. can play two different scales, knows five variations on Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, can do long slow bows in Lightly Row, and can do independent finger hops in Song of the Wind.

She has all these songs memorized.

And she just learned to tie her shoes this week!

Children are amazing.
