I think my absolute favorite number in the opera is the "recognition" sextet, "Riconosci in questo amplesso," followed by the wonderful Count-Susanna duet, "Crudel! perche finora."

Try this with your daughter, because she may have a different sensibility for learning music and this might be more along her lines. Ask her to focus on the melody rather than on counting.

Let me know if it works.Pentimentohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161146891505294679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5554498168264477884.post-24271256669232346902008-04-05T09:12:00.000-04:002008-04-05T09:12:00.000-04:00Question:My daughter (almost eight) is very reluct...Question:<BR/><BR/>My daughter (almost eight) is very reluctant to learn how to count when playing the piano.
