Comprehensive Music Lessons by Tutor from University of Louisiana

The Student reviewed music theory, including identifying notes on the bass and treble clefs and understanding the grand staff. They practiced songs like "Rain, Rain, Go Away," "Here's a Very Happy Song," and "Jolly Old St. Nicholas," focusing on hand coordination and finger placement. The next session will continue working on "Jolly Old St. Nicholas."

The Tutor guided the student through exercises to improve finger dexterity, note recognition, and rhythm. They identified notes on the staff, learned about bar lines and clefs, and practiced playing simple songs. The lesson concluded with introducing the grand staff and assigning practice on page 33.

The student practiced guitar, focusing on technique and finger placement in 'Eye of the Tiger' and 'Itsy Bitsy Spider'. They broke down songs into sections, working on consistent finger placement and rhythm. The student plans to practice for a Thanksgiving performance and discussed continuing lessons.

The Student practiced piano exercises focusing on hand positioning, rhythm in three-four time, and note recognition. They also attempted a duet with the Tutor to work on timing. The homework is to complete labeling notes on the music staff to prepare for reading music in the next lesson.

The student learned to play chords, focused on rhythm using different note values, and practiced playing two songs: "Jolly Old Saint Nick" and "Old McDonald". The student worked on hand movements and rhythm accuracy. As a follow-up, the student was asked to practice both songs and was introduced to identifying notes on the keyboard.

The Student reviewed 'Eye of the Tiger' and 'Happy Birthday' on the guitar, then learned the E minor and E major chords and practiced transitioning between them. The Tutor introduced hammer-on and pull-off techniques and began teaching 'Itsybitsy Spider'. The Student was assigned to practice all three songs and continue finger exercises.
