Elizabeth Kahn's recent piano lesson with Arya (Zechariah Sparrow) focused on foundational music reading skills. They explored the stave, whole notes, treble and bass clefs, and middle C. Arya spent time practicing whole notes using both hands and started on a new piece, the 'butterfly song,' specifically chosen to help develop a light touch. Homework for Arya involves practicing 'Let's Play' with both the right and left hands, emphasizing whole notes, and revisiting the ocean animals piece from a different book.
