Senior PROJECT VOLUNTEER/ April 17/ Client D

Today we had a new client. For purposes of confidentiality, the client will be referred to as Client D. She is Client C's classmate at school. Its interesting, she is a new student. I was always curious on how Ian starts teaching kids with the first lesson. With her, Ian taught the C scale with only letters and not notes. He numbered her fingers and corresponded them with the letters. Her mom and her friend watched the first session. I was sitting next to Ian with the drums near the piano. Client D is a very fast learner. I invited Client D's friend over to sit next to me and we played the drums together.

Client C's mother referred Ian to the classmates in his school.

time spent: 4 hours

Total: 29 hours

Senior PROJECT VOLUNTEER/ April 17/ Client C

All three of us played the drums, the client did not want Ian to play the guitar because he doesn't like the guitar. The client also did not want to play the piano until 15 minutes into the sessions. He played all his music piece very well learning pieces with his hands at different positions on the piano. At one point, he started counting/yelling numbers one through ten on his own, clearly and loudly. On the drums we played "Three Little Birds" and "Funga A La Fia." He likes to jump out of his seat and clap, so Ian and I had to help him take deep breaths to calm him down.

Senior PROJECT VOLUNTEER/ April 17/ Client B

Client B likes to sing on the piano a lot today. Ian played a different tune that usual and let the client lead while Ian served as background music. I did not want to interupt because it seems like Ian was testing something. The client led the music, focusing mostly on 2 notes. He would sing by himself, and Ian would occassionally chime in, because it is usually Ian who sings and the client that follows along.
