Piano concept taught by Bardiya
Bardiya tutored Jeremy in a piano lesson focused on improving rhythm and timing in a specific piece, addressing challenges with 16th notes, dotted notes, and rolled notes. Jeremy practiced counting techniques and hand coordination, using a metronome to enhance his internal sense of rhythm. For homework, Jeremy will practice the discussed sections with a non-visual metronome, focusing on accurate rolls and 16th note placement, and potentially increase the tempo if comfortable.

Bardiya and Jeremy worked on piano technique, focusing on dynamics, speed control with a metronome, and fingering for a Maple Story piece. Jeremy received specific guidance on fingering techniques and rhythmic accuracy. He was assigned to practice the technique exercise with a metronome, aiming to increase speed while maintaining control, and to continue working on the assigned lines of the Maple Story piece, annotating the sheet music with fingerings.
