Looking for a teacher that can elevate your piano skills beyond just the fundamenetals? Then, I’m the tutor for you!

The tutor and student worked on piano technique, focusing on A major and harmonic F minor scales, and the concept of a "round sound." They then practiced Hannon exercise 3, emphasizing rhythmic accuracy and finger strength, and reviewed a student's piece, addressing timing and uneven rhythms in specific sections. The next lesson will focus on phrasing and musicality, and transition to Zoom.

The Tutor guided the Student through piano practice, focusing on scales, note identification, and basic chord construction for the song "Happy Birthday." The session included physical warm-ups to address shoulder discomfort and ended with the Student playing learned pieces and demonstrating improved note recognition and chord application.

The tutor and student reviewed major and minor scales, focusing on C major, F sharp harmonic and melodic minor, and introducing E major and C sharp minor. They then practiced Hannon exercise number two with rhythmic variations to improve finger mobility and strength. Finally, they worked on specific sections of a musical piece, refining fingering, tempo, and note duration.

The Tutor and Student reviewed piano scales, the concepts of whole and half tones, and the construction of major chords. They practiced note identification in different clefs and played musical passages with both hands, focusing on rhythm and melody recognition. The student will continue practicing new material throughout the week.

The tutor introduced fundamental music notation, specifically focusing on different note values (whole, half, quarter, and eighth notes) and their corresponding durations in beats. The student practiced identifying and playing these notes on the piano, and then applied this knowledge to simple songs. The tutor provided supplemental sheet music for future practice.

The tutor and student reviewed piano scales and chords, practicing A major and F# harmonic minor scales, and C sharp, E, and G sharp chords. They worked on metronome practice strategies and began sight-reading a new piece, the minuette, in G minor, focusing on key signatures and basic rhythm. The student was assigned to continue learning the minuette and working on metronome practice.
