The Student and Tutor continued their piano lesson, reviewing the piece "Shining Stars" and introducing "Roman Trumpets." They focused on fundamental music theory concepts such as dynamics and intervals, alongside practical techniques like proper hand shape, finger independence, and precise pedal release. The Student was assigned to practice the new piece with these concepts and to review the theory sections in their textbook.

The Student and Tutor reviewed several piano pieces, including "Skip to My Lou," "Schools of Fish," and "Green Frog Hop," focusing on techniques such as staccato, dynamics, and timing. They also practiced transposing "Sandpiper" to different keys and began an ear training exercise for "How to Train Your Dragon," introducing the concept of scale degrees. Homework involves exploring new songs in the music book, and the Student discussed their interest in learning alto saxophone for their school band.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson covering technique, specific musical pieces, and foundational music theory. They practiced transposing melodies to different keys and were introduced to the Circle of Fifths and major scale construction rules. Homework was assigned to learn a new piano piece and practice the F major scale, with emphasis on consistent, short practice sessions.

The session focused on fundamental piano technique, rhythm, and introductory music theory. Student practiced pieces, addressing timing and note durations with metronome work, and explored concepts of slurs, ties, intervals, and chord identification. They also discussed plans to continue practicing timing and delve deeper into minor scale concepts in the next session.

The Tutor and Student focused on piano technique, rhythm, and music theory. They reviewed previously practiced pieces, introduced new concepts for timing using beat subdivision, and sight-read a new piece. The session also covered note duration equivalents and musical notation, with homework assigned for practical application and theory exercises.

The Student and Tutor addressed challenges with two-hand coordination and reading notes far below the staff. They reviewed music theory concepts including parallel and contrary motion, note durations, and the distinction between intervals and chords. The Tutor assigned a creative homework exercise involving practicing primary chords and using them to accompany simple melodies.
