Helping students of all ages discover the joy of music through personalized piano lessons that inspire confidence, creativity, and growth!

Student and Tutor reviewed several piano pieces, reinforcing understanding of dynamics (piano, forte, crescendo), legato, and pedal technique. The session introduced and extensively practiced staccato playing and tied notes across multiple songs and theory exercises. For homework, the Student was assigned to practice 'Haunted Mouse' (page 15) hands separately before attempting hands together.

The Student and Tutor worked on several piano pieces, including 'Firefly,' 'Little River,' 'Sailing in the Sun,' and 'Ferris Wheel,' focusing on dynamics, slurs, and proper pedal technique. They also completed theory exercises covering melody recognition, the distinction between slurs and ties, and ear training for steps, skips, and dynamics. Homework was assigned for the piece on page 11.

The Student and Tutor reviewed foundational music theory concepts including note values, time signatures, dynamics, note naming in both clefs, and musical intervals like steps and skips. They practiced piano exercises in C and G positions and worked on two new pieces, "Firefly" and "Little River," with a focus on dynamics and legato technique. The Student was assigned "Firefly" for homework, with a suggestion to practice once or twice before the next session.

The Student and Tutor worked through various piano theory concepts from a workbook, including identifying steps and skips, understanding parallel and contrasting melodies, calculating tied note durations, and applying time signatures. They also practiced drawing quarter rests and playing rhythms on the piano. The session concluded with a review quiz, successfully completing the theory book, and anticipating the arrival of a new lesson book.

The Student and Tutor completed the current piano lesson book, covering warm-up techniques like Gissando, reviewing pieces with quarter rests and repeat signs, and practicing dynamics. They then advanced to the theory book, focusing on bass clef notes, time signatures, note values, and stem direction rules. As follow-up, the Student received a certificate of completion and will acquire a new piano book for the next sessions.

The Student and Tutor engaged in a piano lesson, practicing several pieces from a lesson book focusing on note reading, rhythm, dynamics, and hands-together coordination. Key areas of practice included correctly executing tied notes, observing quarter rests, applying dynamics (loud/soft), and sight-reading. The Student was assigned "Princess or Monster" (page 69) as homework, with an emphasis on counting rests and utilizing repeats.
