Macy was given the option of picking the first piece she wanted to either review or learn towards mastery. She chose the last piece we did which was the hardest. Since it was on page 27 she attempted it because the theory concept was easy, however, she did have a little problem thinking through which hand was supposed to play the written note. On her next attempt the mistakes were fewer. Practice is something that would solve the problem. We proceeded to do another piece that was not as demanding and she played it much better than the first.

Macy decided that she would begin learning intervals - the distance between two tones or notes. There are 13 intervals. Macy is the first student I've every had in over 40 years of piano teaching that learned all 13 intervals in one day. We approached it using an interactive method. It took some time, however, little by little she was determined to get all 13.
