Megan Wilde provided a songwriting lesson to a student from the Upper West Side, offering feedback on their original song. The lesson also involved guiding them through an exercise of writing melodies over a backing track. They explored lyrical themes inspired by Twilight and discussed copyright issues related to using pre-made music. For homework, the student was assigned to continue practicing writing melodies over backing tracks.

An individual from Scottsdale Ranch began their music lesson by discussing sleep issues and their piano setup. They then transitioned to singing, where the learner shared their experience using pitch-tracking apps to improve vocal accuracy. The lesson involved Megan assessing singing exercises and providing feedback.

Megan Wilde led a vocal lesson that included breath control exercises, vocal warm-ups, and techniques for extending vocal range and hitting high notes. A learner from Fletcher Heights practiced lip trills, panting exercises, and various vocalizations to improve breath support, core engagement, and tonal quality. Megan advised consistent practice, mindfulness of her body, and using a scarf to combat the effects of the cold AC in the room.

Megan Wilde coached Deli Morris on vocal techniques, focusing on breath control and Italian pronunciation for the opera piece "Setto Mommy/Setumame." They worked on new breathing exercises and refined Deli's pronunciation using Cecilia Bartoli's recording as a guide. Deli was assigned to mark all instances of rolled "R"s in the lyrics and practice singing in time with the recording, and also to continue practicing the new breathing exercises.

Megan Wilde coached Lena Arzu on breath control and vocal warm-ups to improve her singing technique. Lena practiced expanding her rib cage while breathing and timed lip trills to increase breath-holding capacity. Megan assigned daily practice of these exercises and vocal warm-ups, and they scheduled a follow-up to assess progress and introduce more advanced breathing exercises.

Libby and Megan worked on Libby's song "Stay Strong," with Megan providing feedback on songwriting techniques, including differentiating it from similar songs and creating contrast through rhythmic variation in melodies. The session also included vocal warm-ups and a singing lesson where Megan emphasized proper breathing technique and breath support, adapting exercises to accommodate Libby's scoliosis and HPP. They also briefly discuss practicing another song, "Cassandra."
