Piano Lessons Focused on Technique, Musicality, and Creative Expression

Melva guided Miranda through a music lesson, focusing on musical notes such as whole, half, quarter, and dotted half notes, along with their corresponding counts. Miranda honed her skills by practicing scales and a simple song, emphasizing correct hand positions and precise note durations. Melva assigned further practice with the material covered and will provide a printable sheet for Miranda's continued use.

Melva guided a piano lesson, covering exercises such as "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," "Butterfly," and introducing a new piece, "Symphony Hall." The learner, who resides in Woodbury, also delved into lower bass clef notes and learned about stem direction in musical notation. For homework, they will practice "Symphony Hall" and "Butterfly." Future lessons plan to include "This Old Man" and potentially a simplified version of "Für Elise."

Melva led Ram in a piano lesson where they concentrated on scales, addressed note errors in a piece he was learning, and introduced a new composition. The instruction covered playing with hands separately and then together, with a strong emphasis on accuracy in notes, timing, and sustaining notes for the correct length. Ram's practice assignment included the final two lines of the current song and mastering the new song with both hands up to a designated section.

During their piano lesson, Melva and Becci continued to work on a specific piece, concentrating on refining fingering techniques, achieving note accuracy, and integrating F sharp. Becci practiced various sections, first with each hand independently and then combining them. For the week ahead, Melva assigned the last two pages of the song for Becci's practice and will send her the corresponding file.

In a recent piano lesson, Melva Tanoto guided R.Ashwini Anu through exercises on scales, note reading in bass clef, and rhythm practice. R.Ashwini honed her skills on pieces like "Symphony Hall" and "In Old Hong Kong," and also commenced learning "Sarah Musette." Her homework involves practicing "Sarah Musette," "Symphony Hall" (left hand, counting), and "In Old Hong Kong" (with a focus on avoiding rushing).

Melva guided Jenny through a comprehensive music lesson, covering music theory, note reading, and piano techniques. Jenny honed her understanding of note values, practiced melodies with precise fingering and dynamics, and began deciphering notes across both treble and bass clefs. For her home practice, Jenny received a new piece, with instructions to focus on the sustain pedal and expressive dynamics.
