The Student demonstrated their piano playing skills, revealing prior experience but a need for review in music reading and coordination. They practiced sight-reading exercises and discussed strategies for tackling new pieces, including breaking them down by hand and understanding key signatures. The Tutor assigned three practice pieces and pentascales, with sheet music to be sent, and also offered to find the music for "Für Elise."
