Music concept taught by Giacomo
Giacomo is teaching Cora music theory, starting with chord structures (triads and seventh chords) and applying them to a song. They refine the song's chord progression, focusing on the verses and chorus. Giacomo then introduces harmonizing the major scale, explaining the chords built on each degree and how this knowledge can help determine a song's key. He notes that certain chords, like the dominant 7th built on the root, are outside the standard harmonization and will be discussed later. Cora is assigned homework to practice the song, memorize the scale harmonization, and analyze the song's chords. Their next lesson is scheduled for August 11th, adjusted for Cora's time zone in Alaska.

Giacomo Favitta taught Adaptive Manipulator (Eric) improvisation techniques, focusing on applying major and melodic minor scales over chord progressions. Eric practiced improvising over B flat major/E flat 7, a C major turnaround, and began analyzing the chord progression of "Bye Bye Blackbird." Homework includes learning the melody of "Bye Bye Blackbird" and applying the discussed scales over its chord changes. The next lesson is scheduled for Wednesday at 6 PM (Giacomo's time).
