Fantastic!  Great progress with both Mountain King and Maple Leaf Rag.  Remember to NEVER tense up your shoulders when playing, but put that tension INTO YOUR TUMMY/core/torso.  Also, the way you move effects how you articulate, so the DANCE you are doing while playing is very important.  Articulate on your fingertips, including your thumb for ALL of the songs you are doing right now.  Most of the pieces we play require this technique/sound, so HIGH wrists!!!
