Hard Words to Say

Learning to play piano at seven has its advantages. And its disadvantages. One of those being having to pronounce difficult words that your teacher makes you learn. Adagio. Legato. Andante. And today it was "staccato."

Me: A staccato is a little dot and when you see it, you play the note like a pop. Pop, pop like popcorn. Say it. Sta
Nathan, 7: Sta
Me: Ca
Nathan: Ca
Me: To
Nathan: To
Me: Sta-cca-to
Nathan: Ska-ta-co
Me: No, sta-cca-to
Nathan: SKA TA CO

Ha,ha. Italian music terms with a Latin twist.

How cute! Your piano camp experience sounded trying but interesting and I'm sure rewarding!
