Music is a way to experience culture and emotion in a way that's hard to put into words. Let's learn together.

The session began with the Student reviewing D, E, and B major scales using both hands on the piano. The main part of the class involved analyzing and practicing chords from a new song's sheet music, focusing on both treble and bass clefs with rhythmic counting. The Tutor assigned the Student to practice playing measures 1-20 of the song with both hands for the next session, along with continued scale practice.

The session introduced the Student to foundational piano concepts, focusing on melody and harmony. The Student practiced playing the melody of "Happy Birthday" and learned to play basic C, F, and G major chords. Practice recommendations of 15 minutes daily were given, and future topics like arpeggios were outlined.

The Student and Tutor reviewed major scales, chords, and progressions on the piano. They practiced transposing a melody and its accompanying chords to various keys, were introduced to arpeggios and chord inversions, and discussed their practical applications. Homework assignments included practicing scales, chords, inversions, and learning a new song using these concepts.

Student 1 and Tutor reviewed "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," learned C, F, and G major chords, and began practicing the melody for "Happy Birthday" on the piano. Student 2 and Tutor reviewed black keys, major and minor chords, and practiced a chord progression using both hands. Future plans include learning "Someone You Loved" and exploring arpeggios, with homework assigned to practice chords and the new song melodies.

Student and Tutor covered piano inversions, major scales, and solfege. The Student practiced identifying and playing chord inversions, reviewing major scale construction using whole and half steps, and applying these concepts to read and play a new song from sheet music. Homework assigned includes practicing inversions and major scales daily, and working on measures 1-16 of "That's Rock and Roll to Me" in both treble and bass clef, with the Tutor planning to provide a practice regimen.

The Student and Tutor worked on piano technique, reviewing major and minor chords and practicing rhythmic accuracy for "See You Again" using clapping exercises and sheet music interpretation. They began a new piece, focusing on note identification in the bass clef and complex rhythmic patterns, also introducing arpeggiated chords and chord inversions. The Student was assigned to practice bars 1-12 of the new piece for the next class.
