They reviewed major and minor chord construction through half-step intervals, practiced playing chords and bass lines using the Cordify application, and worked through exercises from a lesson book that covered dynamics, repetition signs, bass clef notes, and improvisation. Homework was assigned, including daily Cordify practice, internalizing a chosen song for repertoire, specific lesson book pages, and practicing the C major scale with a metronome. The Student was also instructed to download an app for future lessons.
