Rick and Dorothy have started using the big note Schaum exercise books to help students play and read at the same time-- in a way that "conditions" their senses to force hand-eye coordination to happen in a way that is relatively easy due to pattern-making. Here's an example played by Macy.
Rick says-- I don't have a precise source for the Schaum books I recommend right now but here's a google start to the search. The Schaum series works better for all my students than the Hanon ever did. It's because Schaum is typeset bigger and starts out with very easy simple patterns. Hanon and Czerny dive too deep too quick. If you're a piano instructor, you would do well to research this Schaum series thoroughly. If you're a national chain of music stores trying to create a program, consider Schaum.

BIOGRAPHY
Rick's grandfather on his dad's side was Joe Potvin who ran railway engines in Quebec and Ontario from about 1920 through 1960 or so. He always wore his engineer's cap. He's seen here in retirement in 1975. I guess he must have been a hunter too because the family knew him as "trapper Joe".

TRUMP Dorothy & Rick have been watching Trump every morning during breakfast for the past year. He's right about a lot of things. Here's his latest pep rally in Harrisburg.
