🎵 When Finger Numbers Just Won’t Stick…
If you’ve ever had a student mix up finger 2 with finger 4 (again), you know the struggle. 😅 You remind them, count together, even label fingers on paper—but a week later, they’re still guessing.
That’s why I love this simple, hands-on piano game that turns finger number review into an activity kids actually enjoy!
Pom-Pom Friends — A Sweet Reminder to Slow Down in Piano Lessons
Have you ever been reminded to slow waaaaay down in piano lessons?
That happened this week.
I’ve been wanting to use pom-poms as an off-bench activity for a while now — and finally did it!
We’ve been experimenting with touching a pom-pom using the fingertip, and picking them up using “doughnut” shapes:
🎯 1 and 3 together,
🎯 1 and 2,
(And yes, they want to try 1–4 and 1–5, but those happen less often — for obvious reasons!)
If you use My First Piano Adventures, this will sound familiar.
