The Tutor and Student reviewed previous piano exercises and introduced a new mixed interval etude focusing on specific fingerings. The session heavily focused on improving the Student's metronome timing and note duration through repetitive practice of specific measures with both hands. Homework was assigned to continue practicing exercises 1-5 with a metronome at different tempos.

The Student and Tutor practiced various piano exercises focusing on rhythm, timing, and hand coordination. They reviewed "Attitude in steps and skips," "Alternating hands," and introduced "Contrary motion," emphasizing anticipation and correct note duration. Homework involves continuing practice on these exercises, with the next session planned to cover ear training and a new technique called "mix interval attitude."

The Student and Tutor worked on advanced piano finger techniques using "Finger Power Level 2" exercises, focusing on finger independence, alternating hands, and rhythmic accuracy with a metronome. They also began ear training by listening to and analyzing the "Harry Potter" theme song, with the Tutor providing a five-step guide for future practice. The class schedule was confirmed to be every Thursday going forward.

The Student and Tutor conducted a piano lesson focused on fundamental techniques and musical theory. They practiced warm-up exercises, the five-finger exercise, and articulation methods (legato and staccato), along with the F Major scale and reviewed key signatures. The Student continued to master "Für Elise," and new material like sight-reading and ear training were introduced, with a homework assignment to choose new songs from a provided list for future practice.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson covering fundamental techniques and music theory. They practiced physical warm-ups, proper piano positioning, five-finger exercises, and a comprehensive review of major chords, including identifying sharps and applying legato and staccato articulations. Homework involves practicing major sharp chords, particularly the B major chord, and the Tutor plans to provide new practice scripts integrating both ear training and sight-reading.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson covering foundational techniques, including warm-ups, five-finger exercises, and major scales, with a new focus on the F major scale. They practiced dynamics, finger coordination, and applied scale theory using whole and half steps. The session concluded with a performance piece, identifying areas for combined-hand coordination, and assigning homework to practice the F major scale and specific measures of the piece.
