Music concept taught by Paula
On August 19, 2025, Paula Robinson conducted a piano lesson with Joey, where they delved into 'I Have a Dream.' The lesson primarily focused on mastering chord progressions, rhythm, particularly 16th notes and the chorus, and refining fingering techniques. Specific attention was given to F7, B flat, and E flat chords, and Paula clarified musical notation, distinguishing between blocked chords and arpeggios. Throughout the lesson, Paula offered guidance, encouragement, and practical practice suggestions, also recommending pianist Glen Gould for Joey to explore.

The learner practiced transposing music from B flat major to E major and analyzed sheet music, focusing on chord structures and scales.
