M teaches her cousins piano weekly so she gets $50 a month from that. She is my ministering companion and today we went to visit a sister who has been asking me to help her find someone to help in her garden. I previously connected her with other youth in the ward but that didn't happen. So today I offered up my own able bodied children. M is pretty excited to have the opportunity to make more money. I'm glad for her to learn more skills.
M is such a talented and able young woman. She's crazy beautiful inside and out. She is polite and graceful, hilarious and her ninja skills are developing. I love this daughter.
She was recently asked to accompany the youth in singing "Gethsemane". She whipped out an accompaniment on the piano and within a day it was transcribed and polished. It's really nice. She's 13! I asked her how she came up with the accompaniment and she said it just sounded right. She uses inversions and arpeggios with an overall flow that is so sophisticated. She typed in the melody and lyrics into finale. I typed up what she had written down for the first page of the left hand and then filled out the 2nd page. She re-did all the second page because it wasn't what she was actually playing. I love that she improved her mastery of finale, harmony, and playing all in this project. The scope and time involved remind me of a classic Young Women's value project. Way to go M!
