This particular online student takes lessons from China. He is preparing for American music studies. His goal is to study abroad here in the U.S. at a University in 4 years.
In this lesson, we covered a number of areas in his curriculum:
-Chord Recognition
-Introducing 7th Chords
-Transcribing/Engraving: based off a song he learned by ear the previous week
-Reviewing current Repertoire
-Bach Invention
The important context here is understanding the student had 'zero' theory, ear-training, or musicianship training prior to starting lessons with me 4 months prior. During our process of working on technique, practice strategies, and continuing his performance-based training, I have been filling the gaps with musicianship-theory focused curriculum, at a pace that works for him.
