They also covered the fundamentals of chord construction within major keys. Helen was assigned to practice these concepts and review key signatures, preparing for their next lesson where they will continue their work on the circle of fifths and begin learning the new piece, "Elise Meets Emily."

During their recent music lesson, Helen and Rachael not only set a date for their next meeting but also thoroughly reviewed Helen's current assignments. Their focus was on pages 76-77, specifically the "Mexican Hand Clapping Song," where they honed hand positions and chord progressions. Beyond the practical exercises, the lesson incorporated an engaging game about composers and a discussion on historical context. Rachael also initiated Helen into the complexities of the circle of fifths, explaining sharps in key signatures and offering strategies for adapting music to smaller hands. For her practice, Helen is tasked with mastering the assigned pages and the foundational concepts of the circle of fifths.
