Train with a Columbia College Chicago graduate guiding you through a comprehensive musical journey.

The student and tutor reviewed piano exercises, including scales and arpeggios, focusing on technique and precision. They then delved into a specific Mozart piece, working on articulations, dynamics, and fingering, followed by "Book of Love," with an emphasis on rhythmic accuracy and hand coordination. The tutor encouraged further practice on articulations, dynamics, and rhythmic pulse for the pieces.

The student and tutor focused on piano technique, scale practice, and music theory, including key signatures and fingering. They also discussed strategies for improving chord evenness and dynamic expression in musical pieces, with plans to address specific challenging sections in the E minor prelude next week.

The student and tutor reviewed advanced piano techniques, including rhythmic articulation in a musical piece, scale practice with specific accent patterns, and novel fingerings for non-traditional scales. They also focused on developing proper wrist motion for arpeggios, particularly the "negative space" concept for descending passages, with plans to continue practicing these techniques.

The Student and Tutor focused on enhancing rhythmic precision and connectivity in the piano piece "Victory Parade." They addressed issues of inconsistent tempo and pauses between measures, reviewing fundamental concepts of note values and time signatures. The Student was assigned rhythmic exercises and directed to integrate rhythm notation into their practice routine for upcoming pieces and to prepare scales for the next session.

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced piano techniques and musical interpretation. They refined the C# major scale and arpeggio, focusing on silent practice for evenness and proper fingering. The session also involved detailed feedback on "Bluebird" and "To a Wild Rose," with emphasis on dynamics, pedaling, and left-hand control. The Student began the Chopin E minor Prelude (Pathetique), and the Tutor suggested starting the second movement of Pathetique for next week, focusing on hands-separate practice.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson focused on improving technique and learning new pieces. They practiced scales and arpeggios, focusing on speed and wrist stability. The Student played "Go the Distance" and began working on a Mozart sonata, as well as a new piece, "The Book of Love," discussing its key signature, rhythms, and initial notes. The Student was assigned to continue practicing the new pieces and the Mozart sonata, particularly focusing on connected phrasing and dynamics for the next session.
