apparent dyslexia overcome

[ChristmasCarol]

A while back I posted in here about an 8 year old who litterally could not distinguish her left hand from her right... ever.  She would look at bass clef and play right hand and treble clef and play left hand.   Many months of this, I would show her the piece by wrote and she would memorize and play it.  Next week I would come back to the same thing again.  After discussing with her parents whether she had problems in school, and finding a dead end, we just hung in there letting her play the little pieces she had learned apprentice style.   I believed that piano was exactly the right thing to work on this difficulty.  Well last night's lesson she blew me away.  Grinning all the while she played through several counterpoint passages and hand positions with nary a mistake. She proceeded to sight read a new piece for the coming week.   I am sooooo happy for her and delighted to see my theory hold out.  I suffered through a lot of frustrating lessons with her, my biggest effort being given to making sure she didn't feel anything negative from me.  She plays for her friends and in school every chance she gets.  It's easy to enjoy the talented students and continue with students who progress regularly.  But this one has had me talking to myself.  Sweet!
