Layla learned 8 days ago

Lesson date:

Rachael is giving Layla a piano lesson, covering review of "Jazzy Joe," a simplified Beethoven piece, and introducing G major scales and chords. They then begin learning "Dinosaur Stomp," a jazzy piece in G position with a focus on left-hand melody, right-hand chords, fingering, and swing feel. They adjust the piece due to Layla's piano's limited range. The goal is to practice "Dinosaur Stomp" for the week.
