Learn pound sign and ampersand
Timely Topics You have a Guest Teacher today - Ms Allex (I have been suspended and will return Oct 26)
Remember - use correct fingering or you will be rewarded with a "trip down memory lane" by having all your assignment scores reset to zero so you can start again with lesson 1 - learn the homerow (homework and review will NOT be reset) with a focus on using the correct fingering for the keys - at this stage, accuracy and correct fingering are way more important than speeding through the lessons...
Remember - if you are done with today's lesson, you can work ahead - when you have completed all 28 lessons (assignment + homework + review), I will have a timed writing for you to do.
