Music concept taught by Aimee
During their lesson, two learners reviewed major and minor scales, focusing on ear training and fretboard familiarity. One of the individuals, a student from Lone Star College - Montgomery, practiced timing exercises with scales and applied them to soloing. The other will send images of major and minor scale patterns and arpeggio shapes to aid in their practice.

Timing & Phrasing Exercise
During a recent lesson, Aimee guided the individual through minor scales, phrasing exercises with a metronome, and improvisation techniques over chords. The participant focused on applying scales and adding riffs between chords, with a particular emphasis on the E major scale. For homework, they were assigned to work on simple chord progressions and integrate major scales to create riffs between chords.

Aimee guided Sowlo in a vocal lesson, focusing on exercises to strengthen his mixed voice and vocal compression, with particular attention to breath control and smooth transitions between vocal registers. Sowlo diligently practiced arpeggios and applied these techniques to the songs "Can't Feel My Face" and "Careless Whisper," exploring various vocal deliveries. The lesson also included an analysis of Sowlo's original composition, "Don't Forget Me When You're Famous," to incorporate the day's learnings.

During a recent guitar lesson, Aimee and Josh delved into major scales, phrasing exercises, and sight-reading. Josh brought up questions about a riff he was learning, prompting Aimee to offer guidance on chord voicings and fingerings. To bolster Josh's sight-reading abilities, they also tackled classical guitar pieces, with Aimee later sending him a sheet on ledger lines for improved note recognition.

Aimee and asdf fdsa engaged in a music lesson where they honed their major scales, with a strong emphasis on ear training and precise finger placement. They also worked on phrasing exercises in B major. The lesson then moved to sight-reading a new piece, during which Aimee specifically focused on rhythm and flow. For their homework, they are tasked with practicing the sight-reading piece slowly, concentrating on challenging sections, and dedicating five minutes daily to major scale practice or creating short musical phrases.

Overcoming Playing Mistakes
Aimee conducted a vocal lesson with Sowlo, guiding him through warm-ups, vocal exercises, and work on "Careless Whisper." She provided specific feedback on his vocal runs, diaphragm use, and vocal compression, pushing him to refine his mid-range and overall control. For their upcoming lesson, Sowlo is set to send Aimee one of his songs, with the aim of focusing on tighter vocal compression.
