The piano will come to our house

I wrote about the sports day of my 6-year-old daughter's nursery school in my last post :

After all, it was postpond today even though it didn't rain after we recieved the email which informed us the cancelarion of the sports day at 7:20am.

Maybe teachers weren't able to make a decision of carrying out the sports day because it started raining around 6:45 am last Saturday.

It will be sunny today, so I am looking forward to going to see the sports day.



By the way, I am very busy recently because we finally purchaced the used piano for my daughter.

I wrote in my previous post that I decided that I will let her learn both Electone and piano : http://a-o-j-m.blogspot.jp/2016/09/piano-trial-lesson.html

She likes practising the Electone and practises playing it for about 30 minutes every day.

She is good at music dictation and modulation.

I want to enhance her motivation and music skills.

I believe that piano lesson will improve her performance skill and increase the interest in music.

The piano will come to our house at the end of October, so I need to make room to install it.

We need to move the Electone to the kids room on the second floor.

I already moved the bookshelf in the living room, and decluttered it last weekend.

I sold old CDs and books at the CD at the ricycle shop.

I still need to screen a lot of things and throw unnecessary things away.

It is a very hard work and I need time to do it, but it is also fun for me.

I am looking forward to coming the piano.

We visited four piano shops and I really liked its sound when I tried to play the piano which we bought.

I also want to practise piano with her and hope that it will be my fun in my rest of life.

I was helping her Electone practise last evening.

My 7-year-old son wanted to play it.

He had also learned playing the Electone until last September, but he quitted it because he didn't pracitse it at all.

He could still play it, but after that, my daughter played same song and he realized that she played it better than him.

He said:

"She has a great music talent than me, but I have a great drawing talent than her! I am going to draw a picture, it's my homework today. It will display at the citizens exhibition."

It was funny for me because he finally admitted that her sister is finally able to play the Electone better than him.

But he always doesn't want to lose to her as her elder brother.

She played the songs called "Pretty Bouquet".

Please try to listen it if you like.

How long will he able to learn Electone in the future?

The Electone recital was held by YAMAHA music school yesterday.

My 6-year-old son has learned Electone (electonic organ produced by YAMAHA) for 3 years, and it was his first time to play Electone in fromt of more than 1,000 people.

Before the recital, I met a friend whose kid also learns Electone in another class after a one year since the last year's recital.

I told her, "Actually, my son told his teacher twice that he would want to quit. But he changed his mind twice. So he was able to come here somehow today."

She said, "I also don't know how long he will be able to learn Electone from now on. He doesn't like practicing, but he always says that he doesn't want to quit it!"

I told her, " I hope we I will be able to see you again when the recital will be held in the next year!"

This means our children will not quit learning Electone.

I had also learned Electone for more than 30 years.

I know that to keep practicing is very important.

I hope he will be able to enjoy learning it from now on.



He played one song with 12 students.

Actually he did very well.

I asked him, " Were you nervous while playing?"

He answered, " No, I was not nervous at all!"

He seemed to enjoy playing in front of the audience.

Dancing night!

I had learned the Electone since I was 4 years old but I stopped learning before I started working.

So I can play it with appropriate accompaniment if I listen a easy song a few times.

I wanted to play "Over the Rainbow" by the Electone for my 6-year-old son because his class will act the "Wonderful Wizard of Oz"at the recital which will be held on February.

After I played it, I wanted to search the song at the website.

Electone can connect the internet and we can search the musical scores and datas of timbre and rhythm at the website.

It is awsome that we can listen to sample sounds and arrangements of the part of songs for free.

I searched "Over the Rainbow" but I was not able to find it.

But instead of it, I found my favorite proffesional Electone player's performance data, so we listened to it.

It was "Friend like me" from Aladdin (Disney film).

Since it was up-tempo and upbeat number, I couldn't help dancing.

Then my 4-year-old daughter also started dancing imitating me, and my son also joined us.

We just made it up as I go, but it was very fun!

We enjoyed unexpected dancing very much.

Having been surprised at the Electone school

My 5-year-old son goes to the YAMAHA music school to learn how to play the Electone every Saturday morning.

 *Electone : It is the trademark used for electronic organs produced by YAMAHA corporation.

Once I also had been a student of the music school more than 30 years.

But I quitted it 2 years ago because I began to my work and I became busy.

So I would like my children to learn how to play the Electone instead of me.



I usually take him to the school and my husband takes care of my 4-years-old daughter at home.

But since he went to bed at 4am yesterday because he had an end-of-year party with his coworkers, I guessed he would not be able to wake up early.

So I also took my daughter to the music school yesterday.


However, it was decided who sat where every time and the next seat of us was sat by the other mother and child.

So she needed to sit down on a seat away from us.

I was worried that she would want to sit down next to us, but she said "OK!"

I handed her a notebook, colored pencils, and colored pens for drawing pictures.


The lesson is for one hour.

During his lesson, she didn't talk and wander around, she kept quiet and was absorbed drawing pictures.

The teacher suddenly said, "Oh, it began to snow!"

It was the first time in this year to see the snow, so we were excited.

I looked at her, she was pop-eyed with surprise, but she still kept quiet.


In the latter half of lessons, I heard her saying , " Mom, I'm tired."

The other mother who sat down next to her told her, "You must be tired because you were painting pictures all the time. But you could kept quiet. Good job!"

She was glad to hear that.

I handed her seals which I had, so she started playing them again.

I was impressed by her attitude so much.

But after they finished the lessons, she was still absorbed playing the seals.

She wouldn't stop it soon!
