During their piano lesson, Giacomo and Levi concentrated on developing hand coordination and rhythm through pieces like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "The Pipers Are Coming." Levi dedicated time to practicing alternating hands and arpeggiating chords in the first song, and playing both hands together in the second. Giacomo then assigned both pieces for continued practice, also suggesting "The Skater" as an optional extra.
