Prompt 6

Hey guys! It's another post again. Now that the genius project has officially ended, it's time to talk about some of the pros and cons to this project that I've dealt with so far. Throughout teaching piano to my students, I've learned that there's a wonderful feeling when your student finally realizes or understands the basic steps to actually playing. Some positive things that I found through my students' work were the ability to be persistent and carry that endurance to the last and final piece, which was the piece to playing songs on their own and integrating that feeling to being comfortable while playing. Through this, there were more positive changes that I saw. I conducted a study where for three weeks straight I will teach my student most of the steps applied to playing simple songs on the piano, then afterwards, I won't teach them for two weeks and see how their intelligence/ psychological skills play out. The weeks when I have taught my students consistently compared to the weeks without practice was such a huge difference based on skill level. Their emotional state/ physical state was worse compared to the weeks where they did integrate piano or have the sense of the feel of music in those three weeks.

For blog posting, I feel like I've been sorta lazy or haven't really caught up with it, but the detail is there. The reason why I haven't really been posting lately or being really thorough about posting is because the two weeks that I didn't teach, I haven't really done anything, I wasn't suppsed to necessarily do anything except have my data based on my student compared to when they come back and actually try playing like they used to just like what they did in the last other three weeks.
