Yep, Fifth Grade book has begun (!), but I'm pretty much still straddling both this and the fourth grade, because February 28 has come and I'm still working on Beethoven's Sonata in F Minor!! This Bach piece is, I think, a bit easier than even John Thompson's version of Grade 5--but he always begins each book with an easier piece, I guess to ease the student into the grade. So I'm using this as a sight-reading exercise. Basically this pattern just repeats over and over. This is a song I've always wanted to learn, though. Perhaps I will memorize it one day.
