Hey there, Heidi! I got the recording of you playing Minuet #1, and it’s coming along very well! For the most part, your playing was nicely in tune (watch out for the high 2nd finger on the D-string in the second part of the piece), and your timing was really good! I think to make the piece even better, you can work on trying not to hit other strings when you play. It might mean that you need to play the piece slower and really concentrate, but I think you can definitely do it. Keep up the great work!
This is a recording of Little Liza Jane. It has the melody both sung and played and is a live recording, so you’ll hear some people cheering and yelling. The singer is singing the melody that you will learn - fiddler makes the melody seem complicated :).

Mozart money!!!
The time for Mozart money has come!! Here are the rules for Mozart money:
every day that you practice, you get one Mozart dollar. If you practice for 7 days in a row, you get 10 Mozart dollars in total.
If you graduate a piece, you get one Mozart dollar.
Every week, you must fill out the Mozart Money Chart for each time you practice. Your mother’s initials must be beside every week you practice so that you can collect your money.
Save up your money until Christmas time. Then you can get a prize based on how much money you save up!
Download the Mozart Money Tracker, print it off, and get started! Happy Practising!
