We continued working on Giorno's Theme. We added some single bass notes on the left hand to support the right hand melody. We worked on proper finger placement.

We practiced basic half scales and major chord fingerings in the key of C.

Matthew practiced the tune he learned recently from the Halloween movie, entitled Michael Meyers. He was receptive to learning some fingering techniques to facilitate performance.

Today we began working with the piano. We talked about the three pedals, how to build major/ minor chords and discussed how to play some simple songs using both hands.

Today we worked on the piano. I wrote out several words for Richard to spell by playing the notes on the piano. He enjoyed some of the funny words and was able to play several major chords.

Today we worked on the piano. We talked about how to construct songs, scales, chords, and notes. Kaitlin was quick to be able to play the chords to my girl and said she really enjoyed it. Kaitlin is very musical, and I am excited to see her progress as a musician.

Today we worked on finding patterns on the piano. Matthew sat and focused for the entire 30 minutes at the piano and was able to apply the notes and shapes on the piano. He said he really enjoyed the songs we made today and was able to find the strongest notes of each chord.

Matthew was able to mirror my hands and play the correct notes in both left and right hand. We played in the pentatonic scale and he was able to add the correct prompted notes and mimic the rhythms as well as call and respond on the piano.

Today we started using the circle of 5ths to do the five finger position in three different keys on the sharp's side of the circle.

Matthew had a great session using the piano as a spelling tool. We wrote out the notes, then I had him play and spell the words in the prompt by playing the note.
