Singing concept taught by Rachael
Rachael Jenkins provided Ethan Pech with a vocal lesson that included music theory, vocal warm-ups, and song practice. They covered intervals of thirds and fifths, breath control techniques, and discussed Ethan's nervousness with the selected song, "All of Me." Ethan was assigned homework to practice breath support using a water bottle and to record himself singing.

Critique vs. Judgement
Rachael is giving Layla a piano lesson, covering review of "Jazzy Joe," a simplified Beethoven piece, and introducing G major scales and chords. They then begin learning "Dinosaur Stomp," a jazzy piece in G position with a focus on left-hand melody, right-hand chords, fingering, and swing feel. They adjust the piece due to Layla's piano's limited range. The goal is to practice "Dinosaur Stomp" for the week.

Rachael and Helen had a piano lesson focusing on A minor and D minor scales and chords, modulation, and dynamics. Helen was assigned practice exercises from her book, including scales and chords in D minor, and was encouraged to work on "Scarborough Fair," paying attention to the dynamics and octave shifts. Helen will update Rachael on her work schedule next week.

Rachael Jenkins led Ethan through vocal exercises and worked on a song excerpt, focusing on breath control, vowel pronunciation, and maintaining pitch, particularly on the phrase "I'm out of my mind." Ethan was assigned to continue practicing the song, paying special attention to the problem phrase and breath marks. Ethan also mentioned he is waiting for the results of a drug test for a new job.

Rachael and Helen discussed Helen's rat problem and scheduled music lessons around Helen's vacations. The lesson covered A minor scales (natural, harmonic, melodic), identifying them in music, and practicing with the song "Jericho." Rachael also taught Helen the "overlapping pedal" technique, triad construction, and primary chords in A minor. Helen will practice these concepts.
