Student and Tutor worked on piano exercises, focusing on technical movements like 'doorknob' and 'rotating' motions to improve finger independence and fluidity. They also discussed strategies for metronome practice, chord analysis, and effective learning techniques from an external resource. The Student was assigned to continue practicing the first three exercises of Op. 802 with both hands, listen to the remaining pieces in book two, and prioritize completing book three of Op. 599.

Student and Tutor continued their piano lesson, reviewing existing pieces and introducing new sections. They focused on refining accuracy and applying pattern recognition techniques in "802 Number 3" and began working on "599 Number 5," practicing right and left-hand coordination, note identification, and specific fingering for a new section. The Student was assigned to finish reading through "802 Number 3" and practice the first four measures of the B section of "599 Number 5" for the next session.

Student and Tutor reviewed piano piece B23 number one, focusing on note identification, hand positioning, and playing both hands together. They then began practicing reading and playing hands separately for B23 number two, learning about opposite and parallel motion. The Student was assigned a note-reading worksheet and an exercise to draw direction arrows on the sheet music for home practice.

The Student and Tutor reviewed and practiced several piano exercises from Opus 802 and Opus 599. They focused on new techniques for handling accidentals, dynamic five-finger positions using wrist rotation, and analyzing hand movements in complex passages. The Student was assigned to continue practicing these concepts, including integrating earlier exercises in new keys and focusing on the right hand for a new piece.

The Student and Tutor focused on piano technique and piece work, reviewing practice on Opus 802, Opus 599, and Original Rag. They practiced specific technical challenges in each piece, including wrist pivot for Alberti bass, octave jumps, and irregular fingerings. Homework includes practicing wrist pivots and specific sections of the assigned pieces, with the next session's timing adjusted for daylight savings.

Student and Tutor practiced Chopin's 365 No. 2, addressing specific techniques for ascending and descending passages and preparing for upcoming complex fingerings. They then began working on Chopin's Waltz Op. 69 No. 2, exploring historically informed performance practices regarding tempo, pedaling, and ornamentation, alongside a discussion about musical editions. The Student is to continue practicing the waltz, focusing on tempo stabilization and pedaling, with a plan to revisit it next week.
