Dylan decided to take on a little Debussy this summer and has been working hard! This song taught him many new skills including playing grace notes, playing the melody and harmony with the same hand, mastering Debussy's unusual and sometimes challenging fingering, and playing the left hand over the top of the right. He is taking this song to an Honors competition next Friday. This competition will be his second and rumor has it that it is not quite as sweet as the last one and that the judges will be a bit tougher. I made sure to clarify that they will be kind to the children, even if they are judging harder. Again, we are going into the competition without any expectations and just hoping that he is able to make it through his song.
