In a June 30, 2025 piano lesson, Mr. Lewis worked with James B. on technique, musicality, and music transcription. They covered triad inversions, rhythm, phrasing, and identifying "singable pitches" using exercises from Opus 599. Mr. Lewis introduced MuseScore for transcription, but they encountered MIDI input issues and resorted to keyboard input. James B. was assigned homework to complete a score in MuseScore, focusing on note values, patterns, slurs, and repeat signs.
