We began with my playing Chopin's Nocturne in E minor for Gracyn. This led to a discussion of the composer, the romantic period in classical music, and the term "Nocturne." Next we covered notes A-B-C-D-E in middle C position, in preparation for playing the piece "Batter Up" in the Alfred method primer. We then worked on the piece. We also played through Gracyn's favorites, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "The Knuckle Song."
