The Student and Tutor reviewed 2-5-1-6 chord progressions, focusing on adding 6th chords and first inversions for smoother transitions. They practiced note reading in both clefs, worked on piano pieces from the Piano Adventures book, and incorporated specific techniques like dynamic control and wrist movement for rests. The session also included ear training for various triads and 7th chords, rhythm exercises, and introductory melody playback with sight-singing. For homework, the Student will practice assigned pieces with singing, A minor scales, and chords, in preparation for new voicing techniques.

The Student and Tutor worked on improving piano technique, focusing on scales and chord progressions, specifically C major and A minor scales, and A minor chords and 2-5-1-6 progressions. They also practiced several pieces from the Piano Adventures book, addressing issues with rhythm, dynamics, and hand coordination, while also introducing octave signs and site-reading strategies. For homework, the Student was assigned Piano Adventures page 44 and to continue practicing 2-5-1-6 chord progressions in additional keys.

The Tutor and Student focused on piano technique, reviewing A minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic) and A minor triads, including the introduction of V-i cadences. They practiced pieces from the Piano Adventure book, learning about dynamics, rhythm, pedal usage, legato, and new notes, while also developing a new left-hand rhythm tapping exercise. Additionally, they reviewed 2-5-1 chord progressions, added a 6th chord to create 2-5-1-6 sequences, and discussed left-hand variations. The Student received homework to practice these scales, pieces, and chord progressions, with a duet accompaniment recording to be sent later.

The Student and Tutor practiced piano techniques, focusing on rhythm, chord progressions, and two-hand coordination. They introduced and worked on various minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic) and engaged in ear training for triads, seventh chords, and intervals. Homework was assigned to continue practicing E flat major and A flat major 2-5-1 progressions, left-hand bass lines, all three forms of A minor scales, and note reading for a new piece.

Student and Tutor reviewed C major scales and triads, refining technique and finger number application for inversions. They extensively practiced identifying major, minor, and seventh chords through both playing and ear training exercises. New rhythmic concepts, including eighth notes and various rests, along with swing rhythm, were introduced and applied to 2-5-1 chord progressions, with the Student advised to practice these rhythms by tapping even without a piano.

Student and Tutor focused on piano technique, theory, and sight-reading. They reviewed major and minor triads, seventh chords with inversions, and C major scales, emphasizing legato and staccato playing. Additionally, they practiced rhythm clapping, note recognition on the grand staff, and began working on a new piece, "Morning." Homework includes practicing 2-5-1 chord progressions in multiple keys, scales, note reading, and rhythm exercises.
