Comprehensive Music Lessons by Tutor from University of Louisiana

The tutor and student worked on ear training by singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" to identify chord changes without the book. The student then practiced playing through their repertoire of songs, focusing on chord transitions and overall speed, with a discussion on learning full chords as a future goal.

The tutor and student reviewed piano pieces and practiced identifying and playing musical intervals, specifically seconds and thirds, by ear. They also explored the concept of harmony as chords played simultaneously. The next lesson will focus on a new song called "The Rock Song."

Student and Tutor practiced guitar picking exercises and performed a medley of songs as if for a school event, focusing on timing and confidence. They discussed strategies for extending the performance duration by repeating songs with lyrical variations. For homework, the Student was assigned to practice repeating "Hokey Pokey" and "If You're Happy and You Know It," creating new words for the repeated verses.

The Tutor and Student worked on piano exercises, focusing on correct finger placement for scales and the concept of playing musical thirds by skipping a white key. They also practiced using interactive features for communication during the lesson. The next session will involve further practice on these techniques and potentially new material.

The student and tutor practiced playing "Wheels on the Bus," "Mary Had a Little Lamb," and "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" on the guitar, focusing on chord accuracy and transitions. They also worked on playing and singing simultaneously and discussed future review of learned songs.

The student and tutor worked on practicing a piano piece, "The Balloon Song," with a strong emphasis on developing rhythmic accuracy and coordination. They engaged in duet playing, focusing on timing and finger placement to execute specific musical passages.
