Learning music via the "scenic route"

3 years after declaring that she had had enough of the "traditional" way of learning music (classical piano/AMEB exams/private tutoring/daily practice), #1 asked me how to play Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.

So last night I found her the piece and she managed to teach herself the first 8 bars.

Proud moment and big lesson for Mummy: Sometimes you just have to let go and let them find their own path and own timing to doing the thing you want them to do.
