Discover classical piano through personalized lessons that emphasize musical nuance and sound technique.

The student and tutor reviewed piano technique, focusing on identifying anchor tones and melodic tones for practice, and exploring hand rotation and positioning for improved fluidity. They discussed practical fingering strategies for complex passages and the importance of practicing hands separately for Baroque music, with a plan to continue developing these skills.

The Tutor and Student explored music theory, focusing on diatonic chords within major scales and differentiating between major and minor intervals using half steps. They then applied these concepts to analyze chord progressions in a musical piece, practicing rhythmic counting and subdivisions in 12/8 time. The tutor suggested a new piece, 'Autumn Sketch,' for the student to practice.

The student and tutor reviewed rhythmic accuracy and precision in piano playing, focusing on duet practice and technical exercises. They explored the use of MuseScore 4 for metronome-assisted practice and worked on developing rhythmic independence and finger control through note subdivision. The session concluded with plans to continue structured practice of foundational exercises from Opus 802 and begin Book 3 of theory.

The student and tutor reviewed piano exercises, focusing on hand coordination and the concept of musical "handoffs" between hands. They practiced new melodic patterns and began to interpret sheet music by identifying notes, clefs, and note durations, with the student assigned to practice these new skills and apply them to their current piece.

The tutor and student worked through piano exercises from Opus 802 and Opus 599, focusing on hand coordination, rhythmic articulation, and developing smooth transitions between notes and chords. The tutor provided feedback on technique and suggested practice strategies, including repetition and playing at a slower tempo for better control. The next steps involve continuing with these exercises and preparing for new pieces from Opus 500.

The Student and Tutor reviewed the Student's piano practice on the March and Czerny exercises, and introduced Bach Inventions. They worked on refining B major scale technique, focusing on efficient finger and wrist movement, and addressed coordination issues in contrary motion. The session included resolving audio difficulties to improve piano sound transmission and outlining continued practice on Czerny exercises and the first Bach Invention.
