The Student and Tutor engaged in a detailed piano lesson, practicing several pieces to reinforce understanding of note values, counting, and dynamic markings. They reviewed treble and bass clefs, finger placement, and practiced coordinating both hands. The Student was assigned homework to practice "Listen to the Drums" and "Classical March" with separate hands and counting, aiming for hands-together play.

The Student participated in a dual instrument lesson, first on cello and then on piano. For cello, they focused on proper posture, bow holding, basic bowing techniques on open strings (C, G, D, A), and the importance of tuning. For piano, the Student reviewed several pieces, learned a new three-beat note duration, and began an introduction to reading notes in the bass clef using middle C as a reference. The Tutor assigned practice exercises for both instruments and planned to send instructional videos and a note-reading chart.

Student and Tutor reviewed piano note durations, hand positions, finger numbers, and dynamics, practicing several pieces like "Hot Cross Buns," "Sunday," and "School Bell" separately and together. The session then shifted to an introduction to the cello, covering posture, instrument parts, bow hold, and initial bowing technique. Homework was assigned for piano pieces, and follow-up was planned for professional cello tuning.

The session focused on introductory piano concepts, including proper hand position, finger numbering, and understanding different note values (quarter, half, whole notes). The Student practiced these techniques and rhythmic counting through exercises from a primer-level piano book, concluding with a duet with the Tutor. The Tutor assigned specific pages for home practice and suggested exploring a supplementary lesson book.

The session included introductions for a piano student and a cello student, along with initial piano instruction. The piano student practiced hand positioning and basic note identification (middle C, D, E, B, A, low/high notes). A flexible lesson plan for both piano and cello was discussed, outlining future activities such as music theory, finger exercises, ear training, and playing popular songs.
