Piano concept taught by Irene
Irene tutored Sammy Blades-Moore in a rhythm lesson, focusing on clapping exercises to improve timing and rhythmic accuracy using a metronome. Sammy practiced various note combinations and syncopated rhythms, receiving feedback from Irene on alignment and consistency. They plan to continue rhythm training in the next session, picking up where they left off.

Irene and Sammy worked on the piano piece "Let It Be," focusing on rhythm and interpretation. Sammy practiced the right hand by ear training and the left hand with a metronome, paying attention to rests and note values. Sammy's homework is to practice each hand separately, listening to the song to improve rhythm and expression.

Irene tutored Spencer in piano, where they worked on "Jimn Petty," focusing on correct sharps and understanding repeat signs with different endings. They also worked on a waltz, where Irene assigned Spencer to listen to the song and create a vision to connect emotionally with the music, and to practice with a metronome, focusing on the left hand. Homework includes practicing both pieces with these techniques.
