life with coronovirus around
I'm tending to post here rather than on Facebook, as it's slower and more thoughtful, and because there is no instant reaction.
I'm finding that there are things I need to think about, and Facebook really doesn't suit that.
Teaching every day is tiring but rewarding.
Oswin is well ahead of her age group in most things, and that raises its own questions.
To move ahead of her age group, or to dive sideways and expend general knowledge...
At present I'm going for a bit of both. Moving her ahead, but hopefully not so far that she'll get totally bored at school. Also introducing a lot of topics like Roman roads (we have one very close by and often walk along it).
At my sister's suggestion, I'm going to try teaching her to read music. I think she might be up for it, though I'm not entirely sure which instrument to focus on.
Her mini accordion is in C with one and a few notes octaves. (and all the black notes like a piano)
The cimbala is in D, but has 2 octaves.
We haven't tried recorder yet, but they're pretty flexible.
The accordion is easiest, but the limited range may be a problem - plus, a lot of my music is in G and D.
