Things are going well. Both girls are working on vibratto, it will be a while before they can use it appropriately. Anya is working a lot on reading, that is keeping her interested. We worked a lot on review over winter break, and I think the girls can competently/correctly play almost all review songs. Katya is very good at practicing! She practices for 20 minutes and pays attention almost the entire time!
