Lesson Comments
Jack was complaining of feeling sick, and was being difficult about doing anything in class. We did not actually play any piano, but we reviewed the basics of music notation.
We warmed up with scales. We read some songs from the book, and we introduced the G note on both the treble and bass clefs. We discussed major triads and playing broken triads in the song A Message from Teaching Little Fingers to Play.
We warmed up with ascending and descending C major scales, and major triad arpeggios. We reviewed the basics of sight reading notes on the treble and bass clefs. We played some songs from the Teaching Little Fingers to play book to apply and practice reading.
