Ana - Your piano teacher
I'm a teacher passionate about teaching music, specifically Piano. I have a degree in music and a master's degree in music therapy, that has given me the tools to improve my teaching skills, and I also have extensive experience as a teacher, that has helped me understand that everyone has their own unique learning style and pace. I'm empathetic and effective in analyzing student's musical and educational abilities, enabling me to create a personalized, functional and effective Work plan on the piano. As a music teacher, I've worked with children, helping them discover and enhance their musical abilities through play and engaging activities that motivate them to continue learning. As a mother, I know that what is taught with love is forever engraved in the minds and hearts of children, and that is my greatest advantage when teaching.
Ana graduated from Central University of Catalonia

My teaching method is based on three important phases: the first one is to diagnose the student's prior knowledge of music and the piano, to know where to start, taking into account any incorrect techniques learned or false beliefs about themselves that have prevented them from advancing in their learning. The second phase is to teach correct basic piano technique through exercises and songs that allow students to develop skills such as independence, coordination and hand agility. The repertoires chosen will take into account the student's musical tastes and preferences, wich maintaining their motivation and allowing them to participate in their educational process by contributing topics or songs they would like to learn on the piano. The third aspect of my teaching methodology is to allow students to realize their progress and feel challenged to learn something increasingly difficult, without pushing their learning pace, but still allowing progress to be seen. The study plan will be highly personalized according to each student's charactetistics and educational needs.

Piano concepts taught by Ana
The student and tutor worked extensively on understanding and applying seventh chords and chord inversions in music, specifically for piano. They practiced identifying and playing various chord types and progressions, focusing on smooth transitions. The tutor assigned significant practice for the first verse of a song and introduced new chord types for future study.
Practical Chord Application: Song Structure
Minor Chords: The Melancholy Sound
Chord Inversions: Reordering Notes
Understanding Seventh Chords
The Student practiced polyrhythms and explored chord inversions for seventh chords, applying these concepts to a song. They analyzed different inversions to match the original recording's sound and identified melody lines within the song's structure. The tutor suggested continuing to listen for new details in the song.

The Tutor and Student worked extensively on piano chord theory, focusing on major, minor, seventh chords, and their construction. They practiced identifying and playing these chords, applying them to the introduction of the song "Desperado," and discussed rhythmic notation for note durations. The Tutor provided resources and planned to send additional materials on chords.

Key Signatures and Accidentals
Rhythm and Note Durations
The student and tutor practiced rhythm exercises, worked on a new piano piece, and explored seventh chords to enhance a familiar song. The student focused on coordination, timing, and applying new chord structures. Homework includes practicing the song "Sunday Morning" with the seventh chords.

Identifying Rhythmic Patterns
The student practiced scales and arpeggios for warm-up and began learning a new song, focusing on melody, chords, and musical notation. The tutor explained musical symbols like 'natural,' sharps, and flats, as well as song structure elements like repeats and 'Koda.' The plan is for the student to practice the opening and chords of the song and to continue working on music reading skills.
