Guitar concept taught by Jon

Student learned about 1 month ago

Jon Taylor led a singing lesson focused on improving breath control, tone, and timing for a learner from Lake Pleasant. The individual sang a country song, and Jon provided feedback, introducing exercises to enhance their technique. Homework was assigned, including breathing exercises with a metronome, and Jon will send a PDF with detailed instructions. For the next lesson, the learner will sing a song that better suits their natural vocal style.
