Thanks for asking. They play…a little. We are going over the beginning of Essential Elements Bk. 1 again and have gotten to Lightly Row. I suppose a lot of my frustration comes from how very slow we make progress. I’m not used to trying to come up with all sorts of alternative approaches to learning how to play and feel ill-equipped for it. I am splitting them up for part of the class now, with me rotating around and working 1-on-1 and that seems to be working better.
Would you recommend a method other than Essential Elements that works at a more incremental pace?
