The Tutor and Student worked on reviewing piano scales and introducing Beethoven's "Für Elise." They practiced specific passages of the piece, focusing on hand coordination, articulation, and technical exercises. The Tutor recommended continued practice of the new piece and fundamental techniques.

The tutor introduced the student to the piano keyboard, focusing on identifying key patterns and the note 'C'. They then practiced finger numbering and basic hand coordination for playing scales on both hands, concluding with an introduction to rhythm and basic musical composition.

The tutor and student worked on piano technique, including warm-ups, five-finger exercises, scales, and articulations like staccato and legato. They reviewed music theory concepts such as key signatures, major chords, and intervals, and practiced a section of a classical sonata. For the next lesson, the student will continue practicing octaves, tempo with a metronome, and begin working on a new piece, 'Für Elise'.

The tutor and student reviewed piano warm-up exercises, practiced major scales (C, D, E) with hands separately and together, and worked on ascending scales by an octave. They also engaged in note identification exercises using flashcards and began practicing measures from Mozart's Sonata K545 with a metronome, with plans to continue this piece and introduce F and G major scales, along with major chord theory, in the next session.

The Student and Tutor reviewed C, D, and E major scales, focusing on proper piano technique and articulation. They then practiced Mozart's Sonata No. 16 in C major (K545), reviewing earlier measures and beginning new sections. The session concluded with an explanation and practice of building major chords using the root, major third, and perfect fifth, alongside a review of the major scale formula, with homework assigned for continued practice on scales, the sonata, and chord construction.

The Student and Tutor reviewed how to build major scales, focusing on the D major scale's alterations, and learned to construct a C major chord by identifying its tonic, third, and fifth. They practiced new piano articulation techniques, staccato and legato, and explored musical dynamics such as allegro, crescendo, and decrescendo. Homework includes practicing the D and E major scales, and refining measures 1-17 of the sonata with the correct techniques and dynamics.
