We worked on piano today, and I helped her figure out the chords to the beginning of the song she's working on right now.
This involved explaining major and minor sevenths, and inversions, which she already kind of knew, but hadn't applied them as fully as possible.
She won't be here next week, but would like me to send her something to work on that week, so I told her I'd give it some thought.

This was Emma's first lesson. She didn't really know what she wanted to learn, so we talked about some possibilities.
First off, she played a song for me which she had written, and asked how she might "spice it up." I suggested she play it without a capo, playing open chords (it was F#m7, Bm7, and E7). She was more interested in how to play it the same way but make it sound different, so I suggested finger picking, and showed her a beginner finger picking pattern. We then talked about how she could maybe hammer on some of the fingers of the chords.
After that, we talked about finding what key a song is in, and what chords are being played in the background tracks she's being sent. This will take some time to appropriate, but we can come back to it in the future and work through how to go about it.
