English concept taught by Sophia
Sophia worked with Josh during a vocal lesson, concentrating on improving his vowel pronunciation and breath control. She also introduced solfège as a method for learning music. Josh diligently practiced maintaining consistent breath support, applying this technique to singing vowel sequences and a hymn. For his practice during the week, Sophia assigned Josh to continue working on the hymn using solfège.

The learner, who resides in Sacramento, practiced descending notes, octaves, and intervals.
