Student and Tutor began learning the piano piece "River Flows in You," focusing on note identification and right-hand practice for the treble clef on Page 1. They also started practicing the left-hand bass clef for the first line. The Tutor will send practice videos, and they discussed scheduling their next session.

Student and Tutor began by reviewing "Für Elise" to ensure note accuracy. They then introduced a new piano piece, "River Flows in You," focusing on identifying notes, applying F sharp, and coordinating both hands. The Student practiced right-hand and left-hand parts individually before attempting to combine them, and was assigned to practice the first page with a provided video guide.

The Tutor and Student reviewed the construction and intervals of major and minor triads, augmented, and diminished chords. They then moved on to seventh chords, exploring major seventh, dominant seventh, and minor seventh variations. The session also covered scale construction using the whole-half step pattern and its application in transposing chords, concluding with basic piano accompaniment techniques.

The student and tutor reviewed vocal warm-up exercises, then focused on applying the "mixed voice" technique to analyze and sing specific verses of a song. They practiced smooth transitions between scales and discussed the emotional delivery of lyrics, with plans to continue practicing the song's challenging sections in future sessions.

The tutor introduced foundational singing techniques, including diaphragmatic breathing and specific vocal warm-up exercises. The student practiced these techniques, with the tutor providing guidance on breath control, vocal resonance, and finding the mixed voice. Future sessions will incorporate personalized song choices to enhance engagement.

The Tutor and Student worked on singing techniques for an American pop song, focusing on breath support, rhythmic accuracy (groove and four-four time), and smooth vocal delivery using mixed voice. They practiced the song "For the Longest Time" and reviewed vocal warm-ups, with plans to explore voice range in a future session.
