Piano concepts taught by Gian
The tutor and student reviewed fundamental piano concepts including notes, note durations, sharps and flats, harmony, melody, and tempo. They practiced rhythmic exercises using whole, half, and quarter notes, and began working on a specific song arrangement, "Falling Leaves," focusing on chord progressions and note sequences for the left hand. Future lessons will build on these skills with chord familiarization, scales, and advanced techniques.
