Live Webcam Piano Lesson!

She is 7 here as you can see by missing teeth! One of our biggest challenges on our open ended world tour has been finding solutions for Mozart's musical education as we roam the globe. She started piano at 3 and her teachers have always said she has exceptional talent, so we want to support that even though we are not musical ourselves.

We were very excited when we met Mark MIller via Skype and have found his unique Jazz piano lessons via distance learning are perfect for Mozart and our mobile lifestyle. You can find out more about him at his website:

We taped a few lessons for our records and to show family and friends who can not watch her in person. Many from our blog have asked about her lessons, so this also gives our readers a little more understanding about the process.

Mozart has interest in composing, theory and singing while playing and is not fond of rote learning, so this method works really well for her. Marks goal is to get her able to play any piece of sheet music as soon as possible and she loves the mystery tunes that he sends to her to figure out on her own. She is already working on some college level theory thanks to his techniques.

Some people think we are crazy, but we actually bought and carry a good digital piano with us in our RV, so that she can practice as we roam too. Even in this video where we are in our winter rental in Spain, we use some make shift techniques.

She is playing on the table and using a step ladder as a seat. In our small RV, I have to be up in the loft or outside when she plays due to lack of space. We place it on a table and Mozart stands and plays. ;)

We are big believers in that old saying, "if there is a will, there is a way"!

Can you tell me the program she uses? I am about a year into my private music teaching program, and I am trying to expand my program and make it clearer. I really like what she was using, the theory part was great. If you have time to reply, or send me a message that would be amazing. Thanks... She is very good, by the way.

@Sorianbell Thanks! Look at the more info or our website as I list the teacher and I believe he makes up his own teaching program as he has been doing it for over 35 years. Good luck!

her voice is wonderful......1 and 2 and 3 and 4....that part :) just shines my face :P

[soultravelers3]

Aw thanks hellokitty0571989! It is called counting & is actually a very hard skill to learn while reading a new song & playing it. Her teacher says she does it better than his adult students! I like how it makes her concentrate. ;)

oww so cute it would be better if u played with both of ur hands in the first couple of songs ur go far in life when ur older keep up the good work

[soultravelers3]

Thanks MissComentGirl, she is actually just doing exercises with one hand exactly as her teacher wants in those songs. This is a recording of her class that she does with her teacher on another continent. He teaches Jazz piano that it focused on music theory primarily, so that she can play any song immediately & compose.

@soultravelers3 does she also write her own music now you taught her this way and form? I trained my self from see and hear i heard it being played and played i am natural in this talent i am musically in clined in guirtar as well as piano and started with the drums there is so much more to learn though to be a very good musician out there. Not just learning the music but making it happen feeling the music in your body and being able to sooth peoples hearts with your music.

This girl is talendted! You totally should put her in performing if you think so, because she can totally play! I give her a 10 and "do re mi" was beautiful!

[SemperLupePR]

I am so jealous :)) I wish I could travel around the world, and learn music like this (L) Well done, parents!

[soultravelers3]

@Cheesehead337 We didn't move to Spain, we are on an open ended, non-stop world tour as a family & we wintered in Spain for 4 years because it is warm and for a chance to very deeply immerse into our child's second language/literature/culture. We will start wintering in Asia this year so she can immerse deeply in her 3rd language..Mandarin Chinese.

[YukaSumaki]

Ouwh she has a very very cute voice! I like it when she sings "one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four..." =D
