3/10/2011 Sarah

Sarah's pitch memory is gaining ground and she can accurately imitate back the intervals of  a 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th, ascending.  The 2nd is more difficult for her because of the smaller distance between the notes and we just today began an exploration of what a 1/2 step sounds like.  We also started working on rhythm, which she has no internal sense of.  We sang "Dona nobis pacem" together, myself next to her left side and tapping the rhythm on her back while she kept her eyes closed to limit her sensory input.  Felt like a Helen Keller moment...
