Piano concept taught by Jimena

Student learned 6 days ago

Jimena and Bryson dedicated their piano lesson to refining technique, specifically focusing on arpeggios, chord inversions, and finger positioning. This work aimed to improve their fluidity and deepen their understanding of harmonic relationships. Bryson received a specific assignment to practice chord progressions using various fingerings and to explore chords that include the note C. They have scheduled their next lesson for September 15th, where they will review the progress made and potentially begin a new piece.

Jimena and Bryson's recent piano lesson focused on various techniques, such as accentuating melody notes in chords, utilizing the sustain pedal, and incorporating rallentando for emotional expression. Bryson practiced scales with accents and began working on arpeggio exercises to enhance his fluidity. Jimena recommended a book by Alexander Pescanov for chord exercises and plans to share videos on chord inversions.

Bryson learned about 1 month ago

Jimena and Bryson dedicated their time to a focused piano lesson, working on scales, fingerings, and core music theory concepts. A key area of their study was the circle of fifths, specifically its practical application in deciphering sharps and flats across different musical keys. Bryson spent time refining his scales in C major and other keys, with particular attention paid to proper hand positioning and finger techniques. Jimena will follow up by sending Bryson further exercises and the score from the Oppenheimer soundtrack for his continued practice, and they will coordinate their next lesson via Wingley.

The recent lesson covered essential aspects of piano technique, music theory, and score reading. A music student attending DePaul University in Lincoln Park dedicated time to practicing scales and arpeggios. Working alongside the instructor, they thoroughly examined a Beethoven piece, with a particular focus on its rhythm, phrasing, and dynamics. The next lesson has been set for Tuesday, and the student's assignment includes continued practice of the scales, arpeggios, and the initial two systems of the Beethoven composition.
