Ocean Eyes - First lesson
Lesson Outline
Zeta had stated that she was interested in anything Billy Eilish had recorded. I found a good and easy piece that when presented to her, she seemed to be genuinely engaged. It has three chords that repeat and the additional chord comes in at the end. I showed her where she could access it on YouTube. We practiced the chord progression a great deal, slowly, one section or measure at a time. We then put it all together. We then went back to YouTube to make sure that we had covered everything correctly. There were some minor changes - in the location of where the chord is played. As each student entered the room we asked them to "Name that Tune". There were more students who were familiar with the song than others. This seemed to stimulate interest in learning the piece of music. One student told her to really learn it, It created a boost to her concentration. Hopefully, Zeta will refer to the YouTube video if she forgets the chords or the chord progressions.

Lesson Comments
Zeta was very interested in her lesson today because we exposed her to learning a piece of music by her favorite composer, Billy Eilish. She repeated each section presented to her over and over again. It wasn't until the end that she seemed exhausted. If she forgets how to play it she can refer to You Tube which is where I learned the melody and the ease of learning this piece. It was a good choice. The students who were familiar with the piece encouraged her to play it. Wouldn't be great if she played it for the talent show on March 27th?
