Take voice lessons with a teacher who helps you master tone and rhythm with a friendly, skilled approach

Irene and Sammy worked on rhythm exercises and site reading, focusing on clapping rhythms accurately with a metronome and applying those rhythms to piano playing. Sammy practiced counting aloud while playing to improve rhythmic accuracy and coordination. They plan to continue working on rhythm and site reading in future sessions, and will also work on "Let it Be" on Friday.

Irene and Sammy Blades-Moore worked on memorizing sections of "Let It Be" on the piano, focusing on specific bars and sections for both the right and left hands. Sammy was assigned homework to memorize specific sections of the song, with a focus on independent hand practice. They also planned to shift the focus of their second weekly lesson to technical requirements, including site reading and rhythm exercises.

During their piano lesson, Irene and Spencer went over Spencer's work on "Sweden," a waltz, and a gymnopedie. The instruction centered on enhancing tempo, achieving smoothness, and infusing character into these pieces. Spencer received advice to practice particular sections of the waltz and gymnopedie in preparation for a wedding performance. They also explored potential new songs for upcoming lessons, spanning classical, video game, and classic rock piano genres.

Irene and Spencer's piano lesson covered scales, sight-reading, and two pieces, "Sweden" and Gymnopédie. Irene gave precise feedback on rhythm, finger placement, and musicality. Spencer, for his part, received instructions to practice the left hand of Gymnopédie using a metronome, with an eye towards performing it at an upcoming wedding.

Irene guided a piano lesson where a learner, who resides in Port St Lucie, reviewed piano exercises, scales (including B minor harmonic), and pieces such as "Gymnopédie," "Sweden," and a Waltz. The primary focus was on refining technique and dynamics. The learner received specific fingering advice for "Sweden." They also discussed potential options for a new song, including classic rock and the theme from "Howl's Moving Castle." Irene concluded by mentioning she would send practice suggestions and song options via text.

Irene and Sammy discussed Sammy's lack of motivation for piano practice and strategies to improve it. They practiced scales, triads, sight-reading, and the song "Let It Be," focusing on problem areas and hand coordination. Irene will send practice reminders via text, and they adjusted the lesson schedule around Irene's upcoming vacations.
