Finding the Joy Again

M is still taking his piano lessons, but I have not been sitting in with him for a while now. Because of that, I am unaware of his progress and what he's doing in class. We lost some time during the July/August holidays and when he returned, M was reluctant to practise. He was more interested to compose his own music and playing the pieces for us. 

His piano teacher is very encouraging when she chanced upon his music compositions a few months ago. She kept telling us that it is unusual for a 5 y.o. to be so keen in composing and it is a good development.

She has encouraged him to continue with his passion and play it for her every week. Perhaps as a result, it has revived his interest and he is more willing to practise the pieces she teaches on his own. 

Recently, he has been improvising when he plays pieces from memory. And this is according to E (who has been playing guitar for 22 years) who understands music. I don't understand, so I can't elaborate. But I was told it is progress. 

Here are a few pieces of what he has been composing. Though I am not sure if it makes sense. Perhaps not at all. But who cares if the teacher thinks it is great! :>
